But since you are reasonably
intellegent your ignorance in this area can be cured by simply learning and
understanding the Zone System. I suggest Ansel Adam's series on that
subject. Works for color too, BTW.


Oh really? You do know that Adams felt that a full darkroom was a component.
How many folks still operate their own darkroom? You can apply the zone system
with far greater ease (and far less expense) with a good digital camera and
full photoshop.
Most of your comments simply show that you've never even touched a good digital
camera.
