Taking a photo of the scenery

While Savageduck is a well-known moronic troll who has never once added
on-topic value to any technical thread in his entire life, here are the
actual laws related to photography in NY State:

You must be new here.


He is a notorious nymshifting troll who appears in r.p.d. from time to time


He also appears in one (or more) of the Linux groups, with posts that
are similar to a Mark Twain short story in length, and similar to Income
Tax instructions in complexity.


Savageduck is quite knowledgeable about photography and digital
manipulation of images to get the best possible results.

While his images and methods may not be my methods (I shoot film), if I
were to start using digital, I would buy him a case of beer, just to get
him to talk photography.


You really should start shooting digital. I gave up the smell of my wet
darkroom years ago.


You needed better ventilation!

I enjoy the whole wet system process.
The fact that the techniques available to modify the image are limited:
density, color balance, and cropping; so I have to get the image right
at the point of exposure.
The ruggedness of the image: I've had too many hard drive/optical disk
failures, and a modicum of care suffices for a film negative.
Finally, I like to have the print in my hands and not on a screen. I've
had people (not "real photographers") ask me why my photos look better
than the stuff they see online. I tell them it's because they can
"connect" with my photographs without a screen.

That said, I respect your methods and results. In fact, if I were to
start shooting digital; based on comments you have made about your
cameras, I would request an inventory of your kit so I would have a
starting point. Considering the investment (in time, learning, and
money) that I have in my camera and darkroom, I think I'll stay with
film for a bit longer.


SD is also retired law enforcement, so he would have some knowledge of
the law.
