Taking the image using:
the
light;
the chosen
lens at a particular
aperture
the positioning of camera
the chosen film (or sensor)
the particular timing and duration of the
Shutter Release
. . . has always ONLY been a PORTION of the process of making a Photograph for presentation, critique or award.
The Film is then developed (and that process can be manipulated)
The Negative is then printed in the Darkroom (and that process also can be manipulated).
There is no difference with digital only the processes and options are different.
