Black & White

[Sporgon]

Very nice portraits, Sporgon.

@Click & dpc: many thanks. I love working in B&W, and often when going back to the colour version it can look aesthetically quite vulgar in colour !

Very nice B&W series, Pookie..

I really like the first picture. LOL Very funny.

Thanks Click...

For color scans I generally use an Epson 850 but it's been actin funny so it's getting looked at. I pulled out a Canon 9000F II while it's in the shop and have been using it for color slide. Just scanned some 135 black & white from this weekend and I am really surprised at its quality. I am using Silverfast though... This was all shot on a Leica M4 BP with a 21mm Elmarit ASPH. I really love the FL on the rangefinder.

Hotel lobby (Fujifilm X-T10 + 18-55mm kit lens)

I previously posted this picture but went back to the RAW file and post processed it with Capture One for Fuji. It does a good job of bringing back the highlights.

November 1977: I can't remember what camera I used or even if I took the picture or my father did.

The BBC website has today posted these black and whites from Roman Vishniac. Pretty amazing stuff from 80 years ago. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/in-pictures-45964835
