[Leica] IMG: A new batch of film portraits

[Jayanand Govindaraj]

Excellent set, but I much prefer the rendering of digital, because it has a
much higher dynamic range to play around with. To me, the method used is
not important, only the final output is.

I prefer a digital darkroom to a wet darkroom as well. 😊

Cheers
Jayanand
