I was infected very early on about the need to approximate the tonal values in scene onto a piece of paper through the work of Ansel Adams. Living in Southern CA, with its blistering glare, forces one to use filters. Once in a moment of hubris, I photographed a series of nuclear domes without filtration. I had just about complete tonal merger of the domes with the sky. Thinking I'd come back and re-shoot a few weeks later, was abruptly put to a stop by 9/11. This was in BW. Had I shot it in color, it wouldn't been a problem. I did shoot the forestry air service on the ground in Hemet, CA once with Tech Pan. I also shot it with T-max 100. All done with filtration of different combinations. I preferred the T-max, needless to say. S.
