others did the printing.I will try your maglite test on my fav Nikon lens 24-120.Very hard for a lens designer to accommodate a lens hood on a very extreme wide to tele zoom,so I'll often use my free hand or fashion a paper flag.
I've been shooting or a professional for 30 years,so I leave nothing to chance I assure you.I've forgotten more than most know.Sorry 'bout that.
Photoshop is not a crutch,but the right tool for modern times,just as autofocusing is here when our eyesight isn't what it once was.All commercial pro work is done with photoshop,books magazines ,movies ,ads,fashion,and even Nature shots.Thats just the way things are done in today's world.
I hope people find something interesting in our post,and that we haven't bored anyone.
Next we can discus off camera flash!!!

I've never sold anything, so I'm definitely not a professional. I belonged to a camera club for a while, but I found it boring. I entered one competition, won first place (with a 5 x 7 print and ISO 400 film, yet)and decided I wasn't going to learn a lot more with that group.I live in a condo so a darkroom is not even possible. So the advent of image processing software and film and slide scanners was really a leg up for me. Darkroom on a desktop. For my needs, I'm in for well under $2000 including a suitable computer. Not a pro setup, but it gets me 8" x 10" prints, suitable for framing. I've found that a well processed 2 megapixel print is "suitable for framing". I have several sitting around in frames, and most people think they are enlargements. Wonderful, I can work in daylight and actually be sociable while working. As opposed to a troglodyte existance in my darkroom.
Ansel may not have been the best at printing, but in the Moon Over Half Dome story, he talked as if he had done the darkroom work. At least I read that into it. I'll have to re-read. He took a shot every two minutes for a couple of hours on glass plates, took them all back to the darkroom, and from them picked two to work with. Two weeks later he had the print. Photoshop would have cut that time dramatically, and a digital camera like the 11 mega pixel Canon or the 14 mP Kodak would have cut a lot of time also. He could have brought a lap top with him, and previewed the shots. In his era it took two trips a month apart.
As to eyesight, that's why I dropped the FE-2 and picked up an N-80. Great lenses and body, but often they weren't as sharply focused as they could be. Besides, I really wanted auto fill flash, flash comp, a built in flash, and a spot meter.
Off camera flash? As in a flash bracket, or on an extension cord, or studio lights, or my two Sunpak 444D's with SU-4 units, or...? I love using the SU-4. No wires and TTL. I can't forget I'm connected and pull things over anymore. Also, the SU-4 will even work with my point and shoots, the ones that control flash power; or any brand of camera, so long as the trigger flash has some sort of power control and sensor.
Bore anyone? With this snappy dialog?
