In article Pncjd.135640$Pl.115025@pd7tw1no, "Alan Smithee" wrote: I would argue the little tiny space between the lens and the CCD on a digital camera "is" a wee tiny little darkroom. Yes, this is rec.photo.darkroom but nowhere does it have to say "traditional" whatever that means. You can argue all you like in my kill file. -- Good grief. I can see why people leave this place in droves. Last time I checked my darkroom was loaded full of digital equipment, timers, densitometers, color computers all 20 years old the most recent addition is a computer. Yawn. So long everybody. |

Aw, this digital argument is getting soooo old. I'm a Vector fanatic. Anybody wanna argue Vectors vs. Raster? Come on. Make my day. Well, ****, that's easy: obviously, vectors are better! In most cases. I speak semi-seriously since I'm a printer, and dread the times that someone comes in with a business card design to be printed ... as a Photoshop file. Bzzzzzt! Wrong format! (If I went ahead and printed it, they'd say "How come all the type is so fuzzy?") Almost as bad as the folks who want me to print stuff from Word documents and Powerpoint presentations ... not to mention Micro$oft Publisher ... On the other hand, I'd hate to have to process a 20x36" poster of a color photograph as a vector file: my poor RIP would be grinding away for a week! -- .... voting for John Kerry now is like voting for LBJ in 1964 with full precognition of what he was going to do in Vietnam for the next four years. - Alexander Cockburn in _Counterpunch_ (http://counterpunch.org/cockburn10282004.html) |

Yet more evidence of the dominance of digital/demise of darkroom?

Can you say "nails in the coffin"? DISCLAIMER: I'm no fan of digital. I love "traditional" wet photography. I love old cameras. But I also try to recognize reality. Hello David, This is a darkroom group. The working definition of this term is commonly understood by all those present, yourself included. The posters and readers here enjoy exercising this particular photographic technology. The processes required and the results they yield are satisfying to them. It is their preferred method of photographic creativity. If this were not the case, they would not be practicing this particular craft and not be reading and posting here on this subject. Yet even with the availability to you of this obvious, common knowledge, you still choose to initiate a new discussion with such inflammatory comments as "demise of darkroom" and "nails in the coffin." And in so doing you intentionally choose to showcase yourself in an extremely poor light as regards the fundamental purpose and day-to-day practices of this group. Why is that? Ken |
