As to the Ansel Adams point, as communication of one's intention must be
paramount obviously one relates one's intention to the technique but it is
also
true that inadquate technique can get in the way of communication.
Varying the proportion of pt to pd acts as a more than adequate contrast
control
without graininess and muddiness.

Terry,
Do you also feel that over adquate technique can also get in the way? I've
see far to many "perfect" prints that have lost any and all emotion.
Would you also not agree that using the pt to pd relationship has move to do
with image tone than image contrast.
