I'm not reading into it, mate. I just want to know what the point would be of such a comparison?
I still shoot film, because I love the joy it brings, but, I don't see how using a digital camera (and, exploiting the technology) makes us any less of a photographer than the people that came before us.
Ansel processed his images in the darkroom not just to sharpen them, but, for contrast and tonality in the final print (he took his photos with this in mind, and, if you see some of the originals of his work before he processed them, you'd see that they looked rather bland and average). I have said before that you can't polish turds; if you capture a bland object in bland light, there's no way to make it look good. However, using software to correct white balance, enhance contrast, lift shadows, increase or decrease saturation, sharpen, are all pretty much the same tools being used.
If you'd like to start a thread in the terrestrial forum showing images as they've come out of the camera with absolutely NOTHING done to them in RAW development software, I'd be more than happy to participate. They'll all look pretty crap, but, still happy to join in.
Sorry for the thread hijack, Mark.
