So, based on my self-taught technique, whenever I'm taking a picture with my Calumet 4s5, I get out my spot meter, meter, focus, adjust for bellows extention compenstation, decide on a filter, etc.
Then, develop appropriately (N+1, N-1, N, etc.), print etc.
Now, I just flipped through one of WeeGee's collections and began to wonder, what was technique from capture-to-prints like from 1930's to 1970's???
Did photographers really go through all that or, did they have really stream lined techniques???? Did they process their own fim? Did they print their own negatives? Did they use the zone system? Did they even use meters?????
