Digital BW, The Print

Wow,
Thanks for the overwhelming responses.  I will certainly implement what I
can.  Here is a basic summary of what everyone said:


   1. Shoot in Raw mode.
   2. Get it right the first time, take many shots.
   3. Blend two exposures / bracket and layer blend
      1. **This is also called High Definition technique
      2. Use a tripod and bracket the exposure and reassemble using
      HDR (high-dynamic-range)
   4. Buy a graduated neutral density filter, but many favored the
   bracket method.
   5. Use a contrast mask.
   6. Use a polarizing filter.
      1. Again many favored the bracket layer method.
   7. Use and create your own Split filter.
   8. Use "RAW Shooter Essentials".(replaced my adobe)
   9. Use "bibblelite/bibblepro (4.9.0)"

Much appreciated by everyones response.
