Re: More and more fun with M8 images
Every Saturday morning I have breakfast with a group of friends at a classic 1950s style diner. This was shot with my M8 and 28mm f/2.8 Elmarit, existing light filtered through a wall of glass bricks behind my left shoulder. Processed with Nik Silver Efex Pro. Any comments are welcome.

Sheesh. I wish my stuff was anywhere near that good when I have "writer's block"!

MEB,
Welcome, what a nice portrait!
Lloyd,
The bokeh both in front of and behind the focus point is amazing. It sends your eyes flying all over the place.
Tim,
I second what Lloyd says. If you are doing this when blocked, well that cannot be bad!
Is the 75 Summilux a new lens to you?
Hans,
Thank you very much indeed!

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
These leave me speechless. What were you using, and how did you do the bw conversions?

Re: More and more fun with M8 images
These are shot with the 28 cron and 50 lux (pre-asph) on my M8, B&W conversions done in LR2.
In LR2, I go to the greyscale mode and start with "auto" which gives me a good starting point. Then I use the color filter "target adjustment tool" to selectively modify the lumination of certain colors from the original RAW file to get the look and contrast I want. To finishi it off, I add a little "post-crop vignette" to eliminate some distraction from the edges.

Thanks for the kind words.
