I'm looking at film and the zone system so I can both understand digital and
film, and combine the best of both worlds. Going forward, some of that will
involve shooting discipline. The rest is care during processing. It's a
compromise but, then, I don't have an unlimited budget or time.
To do the Zone system idea in digital, do this:
1) use RAW
2) learn to expose for the highlights as in my previous post ...
this requires experimentation with you digital camera
3) "develop" using Photoshop
4) learn to use Photoshop's tools well, especially the highlight/shadow
feature (set the radius to 200-400). Also learn "quick mask" to
adjust contrast in limited areas of the picture.
