[QUOTE="Ruidoso Bill, post: 363210, member: 753"] It has been about 45 years since I spent time in a darkroom. Yes, in the film days I was much more conservative with every shot. I carried a light meter (still do) and thought about what I would do in the darkroom to bring the image into what I wanted. I remember going to medium format so I could work with larger negatives (fx/dx) today. I remember using different acids to increase "ASA" and bleach and q tips to remove power lines etc. The experience gained is more applied in how I use my cameras today, I do many more captures than back then but I hopefully take much better photos than I have ever been able to do. I love Lightroom and Photoshop and the amazing resolution of the D800, even better than medium format film. I am just plain thankful to have been in for the ride, every day is but another day to improve, master a new technique, but one thing remains the same, if you don't get it in the camera to begin with, it's lost. Keep shooting and enjoy! [/QUOTE]
