Is this convenience something that brings one happiness in the end with respect to how they got from and to the final print?
Is this a fair interpretation of your reasons why there's no gratification/happiness in digital?
-Major crops (cropping out only a tiny section of the image)
With digital, one doesn't think about composition when the exposure is made since there's have more cropping leeway in post process on a computer.
-Apply all sorts of filters so the image looks however they want it to look
With digital, one doesn't need to worry about film selection, GND, CC filters since their effects can be simulated in post processing on the computer.
-Stitch multiple shots together+alter the look so it looks like it was done with an MF/LF digital back.
I'm not sure why there's less photography skill/knowledge involved in stitching vs single exposure, can you elaborate? Is this an extension of your first point?
-Too much to list with all that a digital camera w/a computer can do.
With digital, one doesn't think about things like critical focus, exposure, color temperature at the time of exposure since they can be easily corrected in post process on a computer.
Is this a fair summary of your position? With digital, one applies photography skills during post process on a computer rather than at the time of exposure. Because it's much easier, digital denies the satisfaction of getting good results from in the field skill and hard work.
