Well, I'm bowing out of this discussion 'cause there's nothing more I have to
say, except that Brian, you completely missed my point. You said digital
doesn't cut the mustard for landscapes. I said I had been to Caponigro's
gallery and seen the prints of his trip. Paper: Epson Ultra Smooth Fine Art.
Printer: Epson 9900. Camera: Canon 5D Mk II. He made a point that the images
were not altered. They are, he said, "editorial" images. Yes, he's known for
altered landscapes. But my points were that the landscapes I saw were not
altered, that they were digital, and that they more than cut the mustard.
The idea is to do what makes you happy. Shoot with what fulfills you. But
whatch those all-encompassing sweeping statements. I know, 'cause I make enough
of them myself. <g>
