Went to the Ansel Adams exhibition yesterday, well worth a watch. The big stuff is very impressive, and some of his more abstract pieces are very good.
Hadn't realised the extent of his darkroom work until now. So much for being a puritan and not touching scanned negs (part from sorting out levels etc).
What are your views on doing digital post work on stuff shot on films? Not ok at all, or ok to a certain degree? There's def a quality to film that I struggle to get on digital, and I know a lot of my photos could do with a bit of fixing, but so far I've stayed clear from it. Time for a re-think.
I stick by the idea that a scan is a digital representation anyway so I don't see much issue with doing a bit of post pro. Enough is enough but how much is too much etc.
I try and fix what I think is down to poor scanning (make the blacks black and the whites white etc) but a shit photo will always be a shit photo and I don't go in for the level of post pro my friends who shoot digital go for.
