[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 158075, member: 9240"] So essentially you're saying that every new photographer should invest in a full darkroom and learn that as well, correct? I get your sentiment 100%, but I believe that Helene's option is far more realistic, and practical. So if I may alter her statement, I would phrase it this way... [I] Put [B]everything[/B] on manual and pretend that all the auto features do not exist, only shoot in RAW, and learn not only how to take a photo properly, but also how to process it correctly. Capturing an image is only half the equation. Presenting it in all its fullness to the world is equally as important, for no one ever fawned over a well composed, properly exposed but poorly printed photo.[/I] The digital dark room is available, and it's far more portable and bright than it used to be. Know your equipment and know your art. It's the difference between a photographer and a person taking pictures. [LEFT][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/LEFT] [/QUOTE]
