(see below for a definition, if you are not an English major) I shot probably the same number of exposures I would have in film for such an event. I culled the shots, and one stood out. I shared it, because I thought it showed a capability of digital that no one else has shared. If it were a good shot, despite the digital-ness of it, I might have posted without comment to the camera source. However, it shows a capability that I was not aware of until my camera delivered the image. AND, I did not have to process the film. I did not have to scan the film. I did not have to worry about the noise of the scanner. Judge the shot by Minor White standards? hmmm, why not by Minor Wisdom (also an English major) standards? S.
