Probably I should have written "a few light years away" instead of "light years from 'now' ". Wish English was my medium of instruction. Thanks for the semantic check :) - Ganesh H Shankar Anil,

I still have lots of 4x5 sheets in my refrigerator. It gives lots of pleasure to get science of part of it correct in 4x5 ! In digital world we have lot more time to explore art part of it since science part of it is mostly taken care of. The point however is that art part still belongs to us photographers and not to software sitting inside these tools. - Thanks for your views, Ganesh H Shankar. Dear Carl,

Stunning images. I am humbled by your talent. As far as this post. I believe the technology available in today's digital cameras is a great leveler (for better or worse you decide) the technigue and craftsmenship needed by the photographers of the past, lugging a 4x5 camera and a meter into the field and applying the considrable science behind the zone system and being at the mercy of an E6 lab has been replaced by painters and sculpters and dancers etc bring the vision of the their art to photography. The shift (of being able to if you wish) of being able to push the decisions of exposure to the modern camera has made the art of photographt transparent. It is a whole new day. You can still study the science of exposure or let the camera do it and for 90 percent of the images thats ok. So in that respect it has made the art of photography more democratic and allowed other voices to sing with the camera. On the other hand if you know enough of science and exposure to know when the camera is wrong and over-ride its metering and apply the rules(if there really are any) of compostion you are ahead of the game. Wow I think I just argued both sides of the issue. I am definitely not a lawyer! Thanks CS Hi-

Good one ganesh. May be Canon's marketting team should read this to re-think their ads! Haven't see that ad myself being a 'Canon'ian but I agree with your thoughts about calling a tool, an artist. Giving a humane tough to a living thing means more than definition of life! And Canon needs to rethink if they really meant it. That apart, about your thoughts is just amazing about the way you have told a story here. One of the best posts from you, of late. H a ha ha! Good one ganesh.
