You're absolutely right, Dag, That's why I said that in many cases, digital is easier to manipulate than film. But, no doubt about it, one can do lots of surprising with film, as the shots you posted well show. Very cool, BTW! Thanks. cheers, frank The optimist thinks this is the best of

As to whether digital and film should be judged separately, I really don't care. It's up to the club or those holding the competition to make the rules, and those who wish to enter either abide by those rules, or not. Personally, I've never been a big fan of art competitions anyway, whether

And what's to prevent the photographer using film to make several exposures of the same subject, bracketing the exposure, shooting from different points of view, even using different cameras with different films. Malcolm Smith wrote: Hmm! I think I do; with digital you can review immediately
