In my living and work space, I don't have room for a photographic
darkroom and especially not with all this Alpha, Itanium, MIPS and
other hardware surrounding me (although slowly thinning out).  I do
have some older Nikon SLR photo cameras, but haven't used those for
many years.  Film sure has a lot of quality to it, I won't deny
that at all.

You're also entirely right, or I agree, that the right shutter speed
and a steady grip (to take a nice, blur-free, picture) is what counts.
No amount of retouching can truly make up for that, in many cases.

I assume you've worked with RAW formats as well?  I must say, it's
interesting, the with the bit-depth and high-dynamic ranges and it
does allow some good quality 'grading' and 'relighting' even (to
some degree), which doesn't look too terrible.
