I, too, have thoroughly enjoyed this discussion. I am much more the artist
than the technician, but I need a standard so I can attempt to have a say
in what is going on with all the various permutations of image capture and
output that are beyond my control, yet attempt to make repeatable results
to some degree of satisfaction.
So many stories I heard in the darkroom days about special agitation
techniques, secret ingredients in developers, and other rolls of the dice
that I had to laugh. They were stories of blind luck. When I finally
learned some sensible and very accurate exposure/development control with
Phil Davis, I finally felt a sense of relief that I could create a negative
that fit nicely within the range of my printing paper's capabilities with
amazing repeatability.
Similarly, I respect Iliah and Ben's and others attempts to explain from
what basis they work and why it is satisfying to them. It makes a lot of
sense even though it is way outside my skill set. I appreciate their
efforts to explain.
I prefer to have as much control of my medium as my abilities and tools
allow. I'll never capture the perfect evening light, but if I can
consistently capture it on location to some repeatable standard, then at
least I can starting point to begin to achieve what I would like to
represent in post ( to use a video editor's term).
Therefore, the question came up before and I would like to ask again, how
do I do an adequate color balance at "sunset with the model at the beach
during magic hour"? The Passport? Then what?
Thanks.
