Oh boy,
Let's not start THIS again ...
those of us who know better know that the boundaries between film and digital
are starting to blur more and more with each passing day ... you may shoot film,
but I bet you use some form of digital post processing ... where do you draw the
line? You can use film to start with and use digital to process, or you can
shoot digital and use dedicated film-type processing like Photoshop as the post
processing ... the lines merge, black and white is turning gray
...
The best thing that can be
said for Rob's images is that he aspires to make them as photorealistic as
possible ... that's why he should stay on this list... I have seen CCD
originated images that look more "film like" than some convoluted attempts
starting with film and trying to make them look digital ...
Those of us who come from
a solid film background and who have been on this list for awhile have an edge
on our "CCD only" compatriots ... ultimately the techniques that come to bear in
making a great photo must be used even if the image had its beginnings as a CCD
receptor ... speaking from my own experience, about 20% of a CCD image that I
make borrows from pure CCD technology ... the rest is all film.
