Re: Mono critique
Firstly - big thank you to everyone who commented in this thread on my image. I really took a lot from them all! Thanks.
Secondly, Rob, I am as far from an expert as you will get on this matter but I do recall reading somewhere that the dynamic latitude of film refers primarily to the linear region where most difference between the tones can be seen (say -4 to +4 stops) but that there is information still registered at the toe and shoulder of that 'curve' (perhaps -7 to -4 and +4 to +6 for example) although this is very faint and quite difficult to distinguish. With digital the dynamic range is explicit in that once you reach it's stop range there's nothing either side of that. Some say it's this difference which makes B&W on film better. I am not concurring or refuting that but just thought I'd iterate what I once read somewhere. I'll try and find a link.
