Trees and clouds with the 28 cron.
We have a gap in our wooded yard that creates a circle for the sunlight to come through. When the clouds look especially interesting I hang out of a second-story window and grab some shots. It's a nice break when I have a lot of work to do.

Well Lloyd, your fake trees are fine, and so are David's trees and clouds, but Tim, that Rayon purse is really lovely - fine sensible composition, a great black and white conversion and a seaside sparkle (that I know so well) all go together to make a great shot
. . . .where is it?

I also agree.
If that's Rayon, I can only imagine what silk must look like (actually I don't have to imagine, as it was Tim's fine work -- as well as Jono's, Lloyd's and others' here -- that encouraged me to buy a Leica in the first place).

We do need to persuade Jorgen to buy one though (even though he might humiliate us all).:bugeyes:
Absolutely - it really does seem to be about the image around here.

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M8 Images
Thanks for the kind words gents! I say Rayon because the original RAW file was a bit humdrum and I passed over it many times before considering a B&W version (Silk is reserved for those rare shots that tumble out seemingly without effort.) It made a difference but required a bit of post to make it happen.
And David, how are you making your IR conversions? It makes for a very dramatic landscape. Well done!
p.s. That's Taveuni, in the Fiji Islands.

Re: The All New More and More Fun w/M8 Images
I'm doing the conversions in Lightroom. I start by applying some settings I had stumbled upon previously. Then I change the settings until they seem to suit the image. The settings are fairly extreme -- with suped-up contrast, clarity, and blacks. It's mostly a matter of trial and error.
These are less dramatic, less three-dimensional, more toned down (by comparison). The other processing didn't work so well with these two.

Thanks for that David. I like these as well. But then I'm old fashioned.

Turns out, I prefer the second batch. Maybe being old-fashioned is contagious.Thanks for that David. I like these as well. But then I'm old fashioned.

That's a terrific image, Lloyd. Great expressions on both of their faces. The lens and processing look really good too -- nice and sharp, with even gray tones.

As for the processing. It's Lightroom, with a TMax 400 preset I found online. Glad you like it.
Thanks David. That lens is really one of my guilty pleasures. Sharp as a tack, and cheap as dirt ($349.00, if I remember correctly). Nice bokeh too. I've though about getting another 90 AA, but 'if it ain't broke...'.
