JCO, Assuming EVERYTHING you say is absolutely correct, so what!? Larry is getting the results he wants using the technique and gear that works for him. So, what's the big deal?
One thing that you must remember is that Larry's photographing out west, where the vistas and distances and scenery are very different than the relatively close scenery in the east. I know where Larry's photographing. His equipment choice makes sense from the POV of ease and convenience. And he obviously enjoys the post processing techniques. And he's used LF gear, so he has a point of comparison. You've neither photographed out west (AFAIK) nor used the camera and software he's using. So, who's better to judge what's best for Larry?
