This image was made a long time ago on Santa Cruz Island in the Channel Islands of California.
I remember the day being lovely and full of adventure with a long boat ride out to the island.
A rocky terrain with lots of sheep running around. There was an abandoned farm and mine to explore.
Visit if you can!

Kind regards,
Darr

A long time ago this used to be a tree, now it's slowly decaying below a soft layer of moss and a blanket of leaves

Rijks Museum : Caucasian Wingnut (1907). The tree was planted by Cuypers, the architect of the Rijks Museum and is part of the original design.

Well done with the B&W landscape conversions Alan - not an 'easy' thing to do ...

[AlanS]

Thankyou Peter, it has been a long journey with digital for me to get conversions that equal my old 5x4 FP4 negs. I feel I am about there now and as you may have noticed I really love B&W!

Well you evidence proof that climbing the funky learning curve with darktable? is worth the effort...
you''ll now have to write a master class in it... !!

[AlanS]

Yes I am now using darktable (for the last month). Once you know which modules to use and how to use them it is quite easy! I am still refining and learning but feel I am most of the way there now. Not so sure about a tutorial, not really my forte, but you never know.

Yes Alan, a tutorial would do nicely ...
And I'd like to subscribe to your Masterclass ...

I appreciate your faith in me Bart but I doubt there is much I can teach you my friend!

Oh don't underestimate you own capabilities, Alan.
I'm sure you could teach us a thing or two about Darktable how to get that b/w silvery look ...

Ok, Alan. I've downloaded and installed Darktable. Now which b/w module would you recommend ?

TIA

Dancing clouds

Actually I don't use any!

I will explain later, I have to go out for a while.
Btw, thank's for the arm twist Bart!

[AlanS]

Right Bart, it goes something like this....
Open file
Apply filmic rgb module and adjust roughly to taste
Apply film preset (bottom l/h corner, I use across a lot)
Adjust filmic
Apply exposure module if required
Apply contrast equaliser as required
Apply tone equaliser as required
Apply split toning to taste
Apply sharpening to taste
I also use crop and rotate, lens correction and perspective correction as required.

There is a good series of utube tutorials by "Bruce Williams Photography" that will take you through the modules (plus masking), note that the rgb workflow is new in 3.0 and is at the end of Bruces tutorials (go there first).
Hope that helps.
It is a bit heavy going at first but once you grasp what is going on it gets much easier, there are a lot of modules and I am still experimenting with some (not mentioned here). Give me a shout as you progress and we can compare notes.

Hi there Alan, hopefully you don't really feel this like an 'arm twist'. Rather see it as a compliment !

Krgds.

We are big on sarcasm here Bart, of course it's o.k.

Thanks a lot for giving me a head start, Alan.
Now I only need to find some time as my dad [91] is feeling poorly lately and has been hospitalised yesterday.

Kind regards.

[AlanS]

My pleasure Bart, I do hope your Dad is o.k.

[pegelli]

as my dad [91] is feeling poorly lately and has been hospitalised yesterday.

All the best Bart, hope all goes well with your dad and you.

[AlanS]

One other thing Bart, in Global Preferences under the core options tab, untick the three "auto-apply basecurve/camera basecurve/sharpening before you start.

Apologies to all for the little "off piste" tour!

Wednesday I was in Goch (Germany) visiting an old relative (the grandson of a brother of my grandfather) and in his front yard he had a special chestnut tree. One side died due to artillery shells during the war in 1945, but the other side is still alive. You can still see the impacts on the "dead" side after 75 years.

Half dead

Another beauty, Alan.
Still have to start learning Darktable in earnest.

Thanks Bart, and every journey starts with the first step
(btw how is your Dad?).
