Photograph

I try to take good shots with the camera in the first place. Fixing mistakes in photo-editing software is something I try to avoid.

My dad was a very good scenic photographer. He used a medium-format manual camera, developed his own film in his darkroom, and created beautiful black & white prints. I think some are as large as 16x24 inches. None of this was digital. He was similar to Ansel Adams in some ways.

I think what lana meant by cropping being a no-no is that a photographer shouldn't compose his or her photos thinking that they'll "just crop this later in photoshop" when they could frame it the way they want to in the first place, etc.

I agree, though, that sometimes cropping can't be avoided. I just think it shouldn't be used as a crutch to a photographer's creativity.

And play nice, boys and girls. Play nice.

Cropping won't make you a better photographer. That's what all the amateurs do and Joey here wants to make it into a serious hobby so I'm teaching him.

Where am I working? I actually work as a freelance photo editor. :wave:

Here's a serious question... Where are YOU working?

I had the opportunity to use several medium format cameras in college, and I really loved the results I could get from them. The quality is stunning. (So are the price tags on these things! ;) )

Ansel Adams is almost universally loved by RIT photo professors. :P He did make fantastic photographs though, I have to concur.

You missed MY point as well. This thread is NOT about you. This is about photography. Stop trying to make everything about you, you're not exactly knowledgeable in this subject so don't try to make vague suggestions like for example, you're ALL for cropping. Taryn and I basically agreed on it and to avoid cropping at all cost while you implied that cropping is very good. :roll:

A darkroom gives you many ways you can be creative.

In a way, learning on a film camera can be good because mistakes are more costly. You tend to be more discerning with everything you do when shooting film.

nono, look at the post that made it out to be about me. I chipped in with my opinion about cropped images, and look at where that took us.

here I'll help you: http://www.alldeaf.com/1815009-post25.html

You haven't even bothered asking me WHY i said its ok for me. But I'll leave this discussion to the people in the nosebleed section.

Trying to twist my words now? Typical.

You're not a good photographer then so don't try and claim your knowledge in this subject when Taryn and I have a degree in this specific field.

I'm so confused. Can you kindly point to where PFH tried to claim a knowledge in this subject?

It is and people use it a lot for "wide angle." It's basically the same thing. :cool2:

Not really, I tried EF 15mm Fisheye Lens f/2.8 and EF 35mm f/1.4L USM AF Wide Angle Lens before. Both are nowhere same but depend on film format size and viewfinder. Like film format/viewfinder are 85% (cheap DSLR as Canon Rebel) then hard to noticed a image circle thru fish eye due copped image off.

So I tried Eos 5D or EOS 1Ds or Eos 1D Mark II which they are over 95% of film format size and viewfinder and I noticed both are big different.

Fish eye lens are more image circle and wide angle don't.

I remembered that from high school and it was a fun and there is a lot of trick but I don't really enjoy to smell a chemical from my hands. :(

Yeah, but you aren't supposed to get the chemicals on your hands. We used wooden tongs to handle the prints.

I know and we can't find any tongs at all. It keeps missed again and again. Some stupid students didn't put it back.
