oldypigeonpopper Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 hello, it would be interesting to see a photo taken with plate camera or Bronica rather than a modern digital, my all time favourite landscape photographer is Ansel Adams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so sad now you can buy them for peanuts . Lots of digital photo now are over processed with programs like lightroom . They become a bit fake to be honest . I am old school and a image should still be what the eye sees . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.C Posted February 16, 2020 Report Share Posted February 16, 2020 Indeed he is a giant among 20C photographers, also check Edward Weston. Large format B&W photograph is, in my humble opinion, the pinnacle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to understand the need to enhance any photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.C Posted February 17, 2020 Report Share Posted February 17, 2020 I still have a Bronica 6x4.5. Had a couple of 5x4 plate cameras in the past. Think my fav at the moment is a little russian range finder that was a 60's Leica clone. No meter so I use a period Weston Master V. Anyway not wanting to hijack the thread....
