Hurr, even more pics. Sharpness is an OVERRATED value.

One last post lol.

love those pics..nice BW..

This is simple and nice... How come background so clean? Photoshop before?

Anyway, a good picture still a good picture...

Was taken in my uni, just so happened it was around 5 (sun sets here early), and since the courtyard is surrounded by buildings, the light penetrated at this perfect angle which illuminated him only. Just did some curves to get a better contrast effect.

nice BW shots! I like em.

what's with the kid searching her bag and cigar on her mouth?

Which setting? 1Ds mark III setting? Mind telling me where to accecss this?

I only know color profile... Do you use that?

Use in Lightroom. Luminescence curves to tweak the light.

Taking pics out in standard output mono is pointless and ugly, color cameras were never meant to do BW photography. That's a job for T-Max or Delta with a good rangefinder like the M6, Bessa or Ikon. Thus curve tweaking is a must. But for now i'll use what i have until i grow balls to move on to film.

One extra pic. Already OOF so i generally blurred it further and tweaked a few things to give the 60s to 70s technicolor look for a feeling of warm fuziness as you can see with the father with sons bonding at Maccas thang. Meant to throw viewer back to days where folks going out with their kids was more common place.

very deep contrast in the b&w pics. PP'ed much eh?

Looks like a Crow, but it's actually a Currawong. Veli Photogenic birdies

Thanks Thanks. Don't get much praise so i'll take it when i can

Yeap. It's very unfortunate that i know shit about film. But my idea is that since backgrounds and clothing are mostly darker than faces, by creating a stark contrast between the subject, clothing and environment, it makes you focus on 2 things in general, the face and the action at hand.

I also use the contrast to blur out details with oversaturation of black or white, because i want people to look at the pic, not the pixels.

Being very honest with anyone i'll say i still suck at PP lol.
