IMHO, Wayne -

It's not digital cameras per se that are the problem, it's the over-saturation and/or excessive post* processing that {to which} so many otherwise innocent photos are subjected to.  For a beautiful example of what's possible with digital see [ngdiscussion.net], or even the more closely cropped version at [ngdiscussion.net].   For additional examples, there have been numerous beautiful digital photos posted recently of activities at Como and of the Maine two-footers in action on the WW&F, {as well as Olaf's excellent photos of the D&SNG's steam-powered log trains at [ngdiscussion.net] et seq. }

p.s. {added 06/22.)  I assume that the beautiful 'Current Events' images on John West's website at [chasingtrains.smugmug.com] are all digital.
