Can fine art B&W photography be done with a digital camera?
Photography shortcommings/lies/marketing ploys carried over to digital photo.
Photography in the 1440s
The Zone System demystified.
The First zone system myth to debunk: you need a camera with interchangeable backs (Hasselblad, Mamyia, Bronica, osv.) or sheet film holders (Large Format) Hasselblad, Bronica, osv.). You don’t. Any camera can be used. (Although I Don’t know if one can use it with digital film).
Second, that you need to use a spotmeter, or any meter at all.
Third, a problem actually: meters are set for exposure of color film/slides, a 7 zone scale and measuer infrared light. B&W silver paper has 10 to 11. B&W film 21. Hence, that all weak gray look from a camera/phone using the built in meter calibrated for color photography. Even in RAW mode I assume this meter is used. So by the time you get to a photoshop algorithm, I have no idea.
Platinum/Palladium Paper, 21 zones.
Has any of this been taken into account in digital photo Raw mode???????
Fourth, there is no 3d effect.
