:ROTFL: i actually put those up mostly for you, my dear. people have been putting up such exquisite examples from the DP1 that i know you've been wondering why the hell you ordered it. i thought i'd remind youQuite Fab
You have taken the DP1 to New Heights and turned my head around .....
Bit by the LUST bug again (B&H diosen't open till 28 April:angry
Love the Lushness & Mood in the darks & lights / the kitchen restaurant shot
AND
The Lovers caught on view is Wonderful......that tender moment (tres Francais))
Two points of view: DP1 f4 /iso 800 is SUPERB
Best, H
simonclivehughes in this thread: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1474 which includes the link to a really nice action set. i was really drawn to the second photo, very still life, but the detail captured by the DP1 was distracting. i used two of his actions -- Silk Stocking to convert to b/w and soften the scene and Stormy Weather to add a very large vignette. i think it took less than a minute. how good is that???Love that 2nd shot, cam... who is this Mr.Evil?
just do it!!!I love the second shot and the range of light it reflects!
actually this shot makes resisting the DP1 very hard...
( the ordering window is open on the second tab of IE for the DP1)...
thank you, Tim (and everybody else)! just when i think i've had enough of it's finicky ways and that we're not well suited, i see the images and fall in love with it all over again. it's a very tumultuous relationship!Very nice cam! Buttery rich blacks and a feeling of "behind the scenes" in the kitchen shot. You're adapting to the new camera very well it seems.
forgot my wallet? (that's for the title of your excellent picture) & an excuse still not to order for mejust do it!!!
:ROTFL:

btw, i put the image up in my gallery where you can view it slightly larger. (keep in mind that i softened it -- that's how sharp the lens really is!) the current name sucks. i'm open to suggestions.
cheers!
i have to agree with you all -- it's the second shot...I must follow the crowd and say that I like #2 too. Great tone and mood.
thank you! i took quite a few shots (DP1 and GRD) that were filled with all the people working the kitchen and those at the counter, but this is the one that drew me. it was the stillness of the moment surrounded by remnants of the bustle. the calm after the storm.Cam, both shots are great however I far prefer the mood and lighting and subject of the second, darker one.
You show a side of the world here that few even bother to look at much less phototgraph.
And your treatment of the subject is superb.
The DP-1 sings in your hands, that is one awesome B&W!
enough? too much??? (i'm always being blasted on the home front here that my images are "too much") i didn't get smokey, but i did get the bite i like feel free to put your version up. i love to learn!I couldn't resist, I took a copy of your posted shot of the commuting lovers into photoshop. A quick downward pull in a curves adjustment layer and voila! Instant smoky. Give it a try.
it is RAW, but i just tweaked the little JPEG. i'll go back and play with the original file -- well, the TIFF anyways. i'm much more proficient in photoshop than i am in SPP for this type of thing. thank you very much for your comments. i do want to make my images the best that they can beThat's it! Better I think. Is the original a jpg? If it's a RAW, I'm betting you could tweak even further. But I like what you did and it now holds it's own with the kitchen shot.
