Yeah well I would say the same, I don't know exactly how he does it but I have seen the pictures, theyr'e good. I've also seen plenty of other photographers work done this size from small negatives that look good. You need to look up from that microscope on occasion. Fil, you haven't been around long enough to know about Dave. The very model of a modern grain sniffer, and I mean that with all due respect to Dave. It's his thing. Whatever. I've recently had the experience of selling 20x30" and 24x36" prints of a number of my photos. Of these, nine were from 35 mm, four from MF, and one from the 10D. Needless to say it was a challenge with the 35 mm stuff. I used Neatimage to process the grain. Nice tool! Now get this. In one room with three 20x30" prints, two are from MF and the third is from the 10D. Guess which one my wife prefers? FWIW, the prints were made on a Durst Epsilon; shot mostly on Reala or Portra, and scanned on an LS-8000. rafe b. http://www.terrapinphoto.com |
