About the Photography
The photographic images on this site are results from film and digital imaging designed to capture as much detail in the original scene as possible. The reason for this effort is to create images that are "like being there." Digital processing of images provides for more precise control over contrast, color, and the printing process than with traditional darkroom wet chemistry (film) methods. Our best images are obtained on large format film and scanned on a high end drum scanner or digital cameras (sometimes as large digital mosaics) and output on a laser film writer direct to photographic paper (or film). This process preserves sharpness not possible with normal enlarging methods from film.
While we will sell images you see on this site, we are not trying to make this a business at this time. Photography as an enjoyable art form and we are not trying to make a living from it. However, if you see something you really like, contact us by email and we'll discuss making a print. (Large laser prints are very expensive.) We also make images available for other web sites including commercial ventures for a fee, and educational and non profit usually for no fees. If you really want to use or purchase a photograph, go to the Obtaining Images or Prints web page.

It is astounding in this day and age how many amateur and pro photographers are pushing a specific method as the ONLY way to do things. Here you will find some of those ideas are false. There are usually multiple ways to accomplish a result, some work better on one type of image or condition, others on different conditions. Read clarkvision.com and view the evidence to make your own conclusions. Be wary of sites, even by so-called pros if they only declare their way is the only way if they can't be specific why only their method works. On clarkvision.com you will find data, examples, and discussion of methods, whether in the field camera operation to post processing techniques. Evaluate the results and evidence yourself and come to your own conclusions. All freely accessible.
