Re: [Digital BW] Can digital photography mimic the Zone system?

2003-09-10 by Loring Palleske

The high end digital capture devices (ie film backs) actually have  
greater latitude. Some advertise 12 stops.
Multiple exposures work well for non moving subjects but with moving  
subjects - definitely expose for the highlights.

Larry Botch has a good multiexposure tutorial on his site. I tried  
looking for it - when I find it I will send you the link.
