Hello,
Thank you for the very kind
compliments on the M42 shot.
Here's one more thing that MIGHT set an APML'er
apart from the usual CCD crowd (Daphne's comment)... we are soooooo photographic
oriented here that all the technology learned in the operation of a CCD would
ONLY be in the purpose of creating the very best photo-realistic image... and
probably exceding what a pure photo would make. I would break this knowledge
down into two parts... acquisition of information, and processing of
information.
I won't talk about this
anymore, but I have been around this avocation long enough to see all kinds of
changes come and go... whether you like it or not, the capabilities gained
through digital techniques dwarf the previous photo-mechanical era
...
I believe that in order to excel in the digital
arena, a previous background in traditional photography is all but essential.
Even if I eventually switch to shooting with a CCD, I am proud that I
belong to the APML and that I share with you all this fantastic heritage of
excellence and foundation.
Tony
