Hi guys!

Yesterday, I fetched my wife from work and on the way I decided to take advantage of a beautiful sunny evening and take some pictures on the way!

Most with Nikkor-Q 135mm f2.8 on my new EOS 40D!








This last one was taken with Helios 81N

i love the b&w--i would swear they were film! may i ask what settings you used and if you shot b&w or pp'd them from color?

The first Black & White was done with the standard Aperture3 B&W setting with High contrast.

The second was done using Silver Efex Pro. First I applied a high structure filter and than I tweaked the curves to get it like this!

There is nothing better than Silver Efex for B&W!!

Still selling your 17-40? (if so, PM me!)

I on the other hand love the saturated color - the red light bulbs, the delicious color bokeh. Well done!

Nice shots indeed.
The bokeh is somewhat typical for Nikkor lenses, a little over-corrected for spherical aberration and thus not that elegant with ooF highlights.

And some more pictures from today!

All pictures where taken with Nikkor-H 85mm f1.8 at varying apertures and processed in Aperture3!

The first is again a B&W Conversion done using Silver Efex Pro, this time emulating a Kodak Tri-X at ISO 400!
