Digital BW, The Print

Well, I don't know about trolls and all that, but the Paris street scene b&w
images I saw on www.atkielski.com were excellent -- and a lot of them.
Another good site for this is the Paris section of www.bobbaron.com.  Bob
uses a printer that printed for HCB quite a bit, and I've also printed some
of his work on inkjet.  It's interesting to compare the two.

(Jeeze! I hate stomping into something like this, especially when the
purveyor is an obvious troll. BUT, the statement I've quoted above is
unconscionable.)

I looked through the photographs on Mr. Morgan's site and found them
not only extraordinarily pleasing but extremely well composed,
photographed and rendered. If any of them were underexposed it has
escaped my attention. Indeed, their were several which I would have
exposed a 3rd of a stop less (and probably been wrong in my
judgement).

I would appreciate it if Mr. Atkielski would quote us chapter and
verse on the images which he finds "underexposed." I would also
appreciate his pointing out those he finds "heavily Photoshopped" and
explain why he thinks them so.

I also viewed Mr. Atkielski's site. There were not very many images
to view. Those that I saw were interesting. Sadly, they were also
often flat and (IMHO) either over, or under, exposed.
