These included most of the above. Which part was cheating?  |
From studying the history of photography, I found out that the availability of dry plates was cheating. The pros were upset that the art was now available to everyone. You no longer had to make up your own plates. The same argument ensued with sheet film, roll film, the brownie camera, etc, etc.
I love your work dawg. You've inspired me. I plan on putting some of my Virginia City shots through those effects. Most were captured with a 4X5. I don't use digital much.
Keep up the good cheating
I still can't post photos. I'm just a newbie lurker...

You got my hopes up ngdawg... Topaz needs an Intel processor. The G5 won't handle it. Bummer!
