I agree. Lots of tungsten and red/yellow light, which looks great when converted to black & white |

WOW! You've made my day.
I am going to answer questions. Only man's portrait is captured in RAW.
First, second and last one is taken as jpg 5Mb. I am taking shots in color only. I think, that it is always time to do conversion to mono. I convert to mono always the same way. I use desaturation, then improve using curves, then contrast /brightness. After - curves again, adding some yellows and reds - instead of using duotone. Sometimes I make some changes by applying shadows/highlights or noise. In some cases I do kind degradation of quality, to develop photo certain way. This is against soul of photography but I feel I have to do it. Sample below is an example of it. This woman is great in color too. But I couldn't stop her from smiling. I love it and want to set it as "my style" in photography. I am totally bored with flowers, landscape, cityscape, birds, butterfly etc. Blurred, noisy, desaturated many different ways - this settle me closer to analog photography, old style one. And I am allowed to do everything quicker to avoid spending hours in darkroom (which I love too).
Those photos were taken with EF1.2/85L, @1.2, ISO4000, jpg 5Mb, no flash
Other shot in color taken few minutes later, all settings like above with different light, yellow street lamp.
Please, do not write about noise, in my opinion is not acceptable but gives "red-had" woman special mood. _________________ Cheers, Voytek |
