The transmitted versus reflected light division is not new. We’ve all seen transparencies and viewed projected images. (A projection screen does not absorb light as a print does, so it functions as an emitter.)
Did we then say that there were two branches in photography?
A very competent friend one devised a demonstration. He rigged up a viewing box where one side held a print and the other a light box, both of which could be varied. By manipulating these, he could make a viewer decide that either side was either a transparency or a print.
I see we have defaulted to the Forum’s favourite topic: Magic Developers. Could we have a separate section for Angels on a Pin, please?
