The All New More and More Fun With Digital M Images

To Lloyd,
I used the antique plate # 2 setting in Nik, followed by application of a film filter (Ilford HP5 I believe), then adjusted vignetting and silver toning a bit, and voila, there it was. I also tend to change the intensity of the effect using the slider bars, but silver toning adjustments seem to accomodate the same effects.

Best,
Ashwin

Thanks Ashwin. Much appreciated.

Ashwin, your photos are truly exceptional. You have a keen eye. I especially like how you vary the processing to match the image.

Jono, I know this is not exactly the answer you wanted, but I prefer the second image. It seems to me more captivating.

Thanks for the replies - it IS helpful, the second one is with Aperture only, but both were done rather quickly, and I guess they don't do that much justice to the software. Added to which I understand silver efex pro really well, and I'm just getting to grips with the huge range of brush options in Aperture 3.

Certainly, all thoughts of going back to Lightroom have gone.

thanks again
all the best

A few more processed today...from my Egypt Travels

All taken with the M9, and a combo of 35 lux, 50 lux, and 90 cron.

And something I should be doing, instead of posting...

Okay, now it's time for some :sleep006:

That second shot from the bridge is really special. I like it a lot! An amazing balance between the woman walking and the guy sweeping. Well done!

Cheers, -Peter

Great Ashwin
I especially like the first two - the bridge is wonderful . . . and that rooftop scene with a goat?!

all the best

One more for the first two! Strong moods!

Having handled a couple of goats, I dare not think how he got it up there! But maybe Norwegian goats are more strong-headed and stubborn than the Egyptian ones?

Thanks to you all! The bridge scene was a really pleasant suprise when I put it through some processing.

Jono, yes, goats on the roof. That was suprise to me regarding Cairo!

Steve: My gosh, excellent series yourself. The 2nd and 3rd captures are remarkaqble. Love the whole series, really, but those 2 just pop for me! Love the "hint" of the SLR and the crispness of the shots!

 

[ashwinrao1]

Leif, you had me laughing regarding the goats...in my experience, the Egyptian goats were quite stubborn as well. How they got onto the roof is amazing to me as well!

Aswhin and Steve, you've set the bar pretty high, gentlemen.
