© Graham Hughes 2015 All Rights Reserved Lumen prints. Agfa expired glossy paper. Exposed outside Gallery259.com I have always wanted to do this, and in editing Snow Flower tonight I could not resist. This a detail zoomed in in PS and cropped. Often zooming in on an image in PS that is emulsion based, has me going gaga over the beauty. I have never had that same reaction zooming in of a digital sensor image. Never. Emulsions are beautiful, the way light is captured and graduates.....its like the difference between vinyl and cd digital for an audiophile. I get it looking at this, and while not looked at as many as some, I have looked, and continue to look at masses of images as part of my love affair with photography, as an art form, a science, and a diversion from a totally digital existence. Here's the difference.
