  1. Now for printing, there are advantages to a pushed negative since it will print at higher printer light numbers than a thin negative and thus the blacks will be stronger.

     

    Absolutely, and the test I shot was for Print, and from that, you could discern what you'd have at the DI phase... so I have no problem pushing one stop.

  2. Just to continue this discussion, I would Push as it is easier to bring things down than up from an abyss. The Tests I shot for a Fotokem DP dinner revealed that a one stop push did no perceptible deterioration of the image with respect to Grain and Contrast. 1 1/2 and more... yes. We shot both 35mm and S16mm. It was at that point I abandoned anything faster than 200t when shooting S16 unless we really really want Grain. For Night Ext I prefer pushing 200t than shooting 500t for example. of course, there are times when you absolutely (have) to use (and push) 500 if need be......

     

    It is true, on the other hand, it can be corrected (to a degree and differently) in DI.

  3. You must have skimmed my posts. I never championed any art as fine art. In fact, I went on to say there's no such thing as fine art. My whole point was that the term is a bogus construction used by elitists to discredit artistic works.

     

    I agree. When I think of fine.. I think of Fine Wine or Fine Dining.. meaning high end, high quality and expensive. Fine Art tho? That is subject to interpretation. A 20 x 40 foot canvas covered in a pastel pink wash is not 'Fine Art' in (my ) art book. really, 'Fine' can only be applied to Film when describing Grain.... or as a (personal) opinion like 'that actor or director did a fine job'.
