Wow, I guess I touched a nerve here.(posted 8165 days ago)I was just wondering because I find the best way to learn is to look at someone who gets the results you're looking for and work backward, modifying for your own use. The mid 70's Darkroom books from Lustrum Press are excellent for this and it's an approach that works for me.
It's sort of the apprentice system for the internet age.
I'm not seeking to slavishly imitate, just to gain a little knowledge to put to my own use.
I apologize if this is somehow in bad taste or off topic.
