last weekend. manual lenses fans from various cities gathered in my city. We had good times. more than 100 people shared each other.
Some shots I took BW from NEX. edit only resize, increase/decrease contrast/brightness. and maybe little crop
I'd like to know your comment/critic of them, as I want to shot straight BW without to much edit in PC. too lazy me
Thanks
Zenitar m 50/1,7 (All wideopen)
Samyang 8mm

Orio, Thanks for your appreciation. BW is not my type actually, but I like it let say 2 of 10 shots. Usually I convert color to BW.
1 more..

Careful not to exceed with contrast anyway. Digital and film have different curves, B&W film can handle contrast much better,
whereas digital easily gives itself away when you push on contrast too much (highlights become super bright more abruptly).

Thanks Orio, I guess this is goes for good film, like ilfors etc. My experience with Lucky BW is different, it's always prone to strong light.
This need more practice.

They may not be completely lost though. I would play around with the dodge/burn tool in PS and try to tinker with them. #3 would be difficult, but because he is looking away from the camera it isn't as important. It, still has a strong "feel" over-all, and I wouldn't toss it away. But #2, because he is looking directly into the camera, I think any detail that you can pull out might help.
The shot #4 of the lady with the cloth material. If you had taken two step backwards, and then, two or three steps to the right. The woman in the background would not have her head cut off, and the seated lady would have feet And I think the separation of the background lady TO BEHIND the first white cloth would be dynamic, also. _________________ Cameras; Sony Nex5n Lenses; Konica Hexanons; 21mm f2.8, 40mm f1,8, 50mm f1.4, 50mmf1.7,57mm f1.4, 100mm f2.8, 135mm f3.2, 200mm f4, MC Helios 77M-4 50mm f1.8, Jupiter 8 50 f2, Super Takumar 85mm f1.9, Vivitar Series 1 90mm f2.5 (Macro), Steinheil Munchen Culminar 85mm f2.8, Steinheil Munchen Exagon 35mm f2.8, Jupiter 37A 135mm, Astra Berlin 135mm f3.5, Angenieux 180mm f4 , Tair 3-PhS 300mm f4.5 |
