Black and White Digital Conversions
UGH. Digitally this is harder than I wanted it be. Between the monitor calibration, printer calibration, slow RAM ( and I have 1 Gig,,,what's up with that) PSCS2 learning.....Lights out, enlarger on some dodge and burning, back in the developer pan....Lights on. Soooo much simpler.
I don't know, somedays the old days seemed to be more fun. Trying to get all the computer stuff to match gets old.
Speaking of old....Last week I dug out my real SLR. Hard to believe that It's only been 7 months since I've played with it. Now that I have the Rebel.... WOW, I don't love my SLR any more. I NEVER thought I'd say that. (I do love the lens tho) It was Klunky and seemed very strange to hold.
So, I robbed it of the lens cover because that fits my 1.8 50mm. Shot a roll of film and put it back.
I complain about the learning curve of the Rebel, the computer, the printer.......but yet here I sit desperate to get the major part of the learning over with.

What a weird coincidence that you're having a hard time with photoshop and I've had a hard time learning how to develop the "old-fashioned" way (which was a huge learning curve for me). I was so frustrated with learning how to dodge and burn and develop using the enlarger and chemicals. All I wanted to do was go back to digital and use PSCS, sooooo much cheaper and faster for me. I'm glad I've learned where photography has come from though! I understand the cost and learning involved with film.
Thanks for visiting my blog and I'm sure to be checking yours and your wonderful photos!
