Re: More and more fun with M8 images
PS: Here are some B&W conversions from last year's Moab trip on M8 files using *ONLY* C1 and nothing else. I am particularly impressed with C1's ability to keep clouds looking like clouds, and not blown out or posterized splotches that I sometimes see with LR/ACR B&W conversions. First and second are normal light, third is IR:

Very very nice, Jack.

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
Probably in May, and probably along the California Coast between Point Reyes and Big Sur, and probably with a Napa or Calistoga wine country shoot on the front end, and it will probably run from a Monday AM through Saturday Noon
However, we probably won't have a printing module this time around and instead focus on more actual shooting time, shooting techniques and continue to focus on file processing techniques that will include our "getting a file ready for print" module.
Stay tuned for the official notice on our main workshop announcement area, probably be up the beginning of next month.

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
We will still be teaching Raw processing , CS4 and of course add the B&W module with programs like C1, LR and CS4. Big emphasis on composition and shooting which was a big part of the Moab workshop and as you see in the images everyone excelled very well at it. I think some of the best things we bring to the workshops are these area's we cover very heavily.

Mike:
If you don't mind my asking, what lens did you use on those three friends of your family portraits? They are lovely shots and I like the drawing of whatever lens you used. I'm considering a 50 lux or the 75 cron for portraits and your shots have the look I'm after. Thanks.

Its too bad of the printing since it would round up the hole process.Probably in May, and probably along the California Coast between Point Reyes and Big Sur, and probably with a Napa or Calistoga wine country shoot on the front end, and it will probably run from a Monday AM through Saturday Noon

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
Don't forget silver efex pro . . . I think that NIK, with the Upoint technology and the structure tool have really got something going (not to mention the film types)
Re: More and more fun with M8 images
Silver Efex Pro is an incredible program, but even after conversion I still find that images can benefit from selective contrast adjustments using curves. I'm also always impressed with the power of the gradient map tool for conversion with a couple of custom curves that can get you pretty close to Nik.
For analogue shooters, perhaps some tips on scanning B&W film. Not a trivial task.

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
That enigmatic look of hers says something like:
"I think we'll organise Harold the Hitman to deal with this old fool who takes pictures with Japanese lens"
(nice shot though)
