[QUOTE="Dave_W, post: 119893, member: 9521"] In the case of Ansel, he used every available technique when he was out making his images. He was extremely methodical to the point of visiting his sites multiple times so he would know exactly how to squeeze out every inch of light that he could. So I've got to believe he would use all the tools at his disposal to insure maximum use of light were he shooting with a digital camera. The thing is that digital cameras only resemble film cameras on the outside and that's where similarity ends. Digital sensors respond to light very differently than does sliver infused paper. From exposure to color balance to the very way light is treated when it hits the sensor is completely different with digital than with film and the only chance you have at insuring you have a properly exposed image is the histogram. And I know the old idiom "old dog, new tricks" but you really should consider incorporating the histogram into your work flow. Once you do you'll find it to be an invaluable aspect to your photography. [/QUOTE]
