Lost in the Midwest: Schoolhouse Barn

This -near Eaton, Ohio - is one of the images that I am using to compare analog to digital printing. This is a 35mm film capture - taken on a late afternoon summer day - of a rural school that has been converted into a barn. In this case the darkroom print was the winner. The silver print showed a wider range of tones - especially in the highlights - which gave the picture a lighter feeling. The inkjet image appeared to be sharper - perhaps too sharp! As the testing continues, the darkroom prints are improving and often excel over the digital prints. (click on image to enlarge)
