The benefit of digital is at the other end of the spectrum, "expose to the left" on the histogram. You will be amazed how much shadow detail is still there - as Clark's measurements show. Since I have been exposing to the left I have no longer the feeling that digital has a low dynamic range, it just fools us who had loads of film experience, we have to learn new ways. cheers Frank On 16 Jan, 2006, at 22:08, Phong wrote: > Tina Manley wrote: >> And this page "proves" that some digital cameras have more dynamic >> range than some films: >> http://www.clarkvision.com/imagedetail/dynamicrange2/ > > > This information flies smack against my experience so that > my reaction is like that when I read of an MIT "scientific" > paper that "proves" that bees cannot fly.
