INdeed. Not sure if that is his work or not, but I love Ansel Adams ever since I saw a gallery of his in San Francisco when I was ~12....

Of course it's his, no one else can take nature photos like him //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

I would be willing to bet all of these are digital shots.
Yes, you control everything on a DSLR that you'd control on an SLR or medium/large format camera (although those are quite different). The only difference is that your darkroom instead of being a physical dark room with various chemicals is now Photoshop.

Photoshopping to me seems like such a lie when it comes to photography. Like if you couldn't capture it with film,the conditions, equipment, and developing; why change the photo? At least when your going for an art piece (not commercial work).

And to be honest, there is no sort of photo that captures as much emotion as a traditional film B&W photo processed in a dark room.

Truth

Then you haven't spent time in a dark room //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Taking a photo and getting it printed at CVS isn't photography. Everything (well, most things) that you can do in photoshop, you can do in a darkroom.

If your photos aren't good without a border, then they won't be good with them. But if you must know, Edit > Border in photoshop.

Yep, you can do all of the basic and important functions of Photoshop in a darkroom (saturation, contrast, etc). What you can't do are things like grain reduction, selective blurring and selective color replacement.

some quick photos from a long trip of mine..

HDR is a gimmick and since it's so easy to spot, it gets old quickly.

the key to HDR is to make it seemless so all the ranges are viewable and non saturated. I went a little heavy on my photo just playing with the intensity and tone mapping.

These are probably grainy as shit, but what the hell.

I have some on my other computer from when I had my SLR Sony camera working right. Have had so many problems with it, but it does take nice pictures, however I am no expert and spent way to much on the camera.

I just went out and got a point and shoot Panasonic FS3 8.0mp camera and is extremely nice for under 200 dollars for my step daughters birthday. I will be using this most of the time being it holds up. I have had bad luck with cameras. Yep, and now I have to go get another camera for her, lawlers!
