Il Portale Della Fotografia Grande Formato. Da anni sto cercando, dopo la “carneficina” digitale, di ritrovare quel look anni 80-90 che solo la carta ciba-ilfochrome sapeva dare.

Most importantly – a change in one of the elements will impact the others. 3 Metaphors for understanding the digital photography exposure triangle: The Window Aperture is the size of the window.
