I'm delighted and bewildered by the quality of the images in this thread and sorry to have discovered it so late. Every single picture is superb here, just can't figure out what went wrong in the digital threads. Please don't take this the wrong way but I can't figure out why the same photographers who have posted such amazing images here are content with mere average works in the digital threads? Have we really taken such huge step backwards from film into digital?

Homemade skateboard park (can often hear the wheels late at night)

m4 & 50 lux ....
First shot; fuzzy wuzzy
2nd Shot: Loved the NYPD Body language / very casual as opposed to hardcore Police :grin:

Helen, really like the bridge shot. Cold and gritty in the city (sorry :eek:). And the gull looks a bit bat-signal-ish. Nice.

Jim,

Those interior shots are beautiful. I love how the texture of the carpet, especially on the stairs, and fabrics just seem to emerge from out of the grains.

i'm ducking my head and NOT really looking but i love all the pictures!!!

(self-preservation, you understand. i'm one of those who so much prefers the look of film but isn't ready to go there yet.)

keep my lust up! one day i will succumb....

(in the meanwhile, i'll continue to sneak peaks between my fingers)

CN scans well ... you just have to push the contrast a bit ... but it's wide latitude let's you push it pretty far without as much grain penelity.

I scan it as 16 bit RGB color and convert to B&W in PS while still keeping the RGB color space ... seems to provide the most data to work with, and allows you to add slight color tone to warm or cool the shot and richen it up a bit. I add 3 points of red and 3 points of yellow to a neutral B&W shot when printing people.
