    Re: What's going to become of photography?

    All words can mean anything anyone wants them to "mean". If I show you a cantaloupe, you can say it is a car jack. It doesn't make cantaloupe a meaningless word.

    Does a wedding photographer really need to take 7500 photos? That sounds like a monkey with a typewriter approach.

    Re: Rodinal Come Back

    The formula for Rodinal has changed over the decades. I am not sure which formula would be deemed the "real" Rodinal.

    AI is just the latest in a long line of bogeymen. Some people are attracted to bogeymen like a moth to a flame. They just aren't happy unless the sky is falling.

    Is this press release they put out earlier this year not accurate?

    Re: Is there any real utility to ULF?

    I suppose that's possible. I guess a photographer could shoot 8x10, enlarge it 2x to 16x20, and then crop it to 8x10, and a viewer would be fooled, and swoon before it in a fit of contact print...

    Drew's workflow is to make enlargements. That is how he wants his work presented (to whom I don't know). Different people have different objectives with their photography. Pursue yours.

    I don't think you'll get much argument around here that contact prints aren't sublime. And if you want bigger contact prints, you'll need to use bigger film. Did I miss something?

    I second the use of a leveling base. If you set up your tripod properly, you only need to make minor adjustments. I don't remember what brand leveling base I have, but it works fine.
