i used to push agfa apx 400 two stops and print on graded contrasty paper. to get even more dramatic results i would make a kodak technical pan negative dupe from an agfa scala transparency. it is just so much easier nowThis looks a lot like the results we used to get when pushing Tri-X to 1600 and higher in the 1970s. There is a difference, however--something a bit more uniform in the "grain" and a bit more tonality in the mid-tones. It's one more example of the M8's "film-like" qualities at high ISO.
Does the tic-tac-toe game suggest that "nobody wins?"

maybe it was a good thing that they kicked me out of an art school when i was nine. otherwise i would know how to do this with charcoal, but not with a cameraWow Irakly
Who needs to Draw Anymore........
B&W Conversion .....Its Magnificent
A perfect Charcoal Moody Sketch
This has Creatively Spun me in a New Direction
the only purpose to drawing would be to distort
thanx
Best, helen
i absolutely do. i used to have this lovely russian medium format rangefinder "iskra" that shot 6x6. i want a digital one like that!I looked at this image a lot of times on the DPreview thread and the lips captivated me. Even with the starkness of the contrast they still remain "soft" in tone and it is what draws me in. I know you like to shoot square. Do you think square when you are composing on the M8?
Images as this always get me to try 'variations on a theme' no right way. whether it is music, or art (Rheins catherdrale)Mark, any normally exposed photo shot at ISO640-1250 is a good starting point. All you have to do is boost contrast to the maximum and then adjust black-fill-exposure.
I am writing from a laptop, no raw files here.
I guess, I have to include a topic "hardware specific lightroom techniques" in one of my courses or workshops
much better. now increase clarity to about 50% (if you are in LR1.x) and play with sharpness sliders (mainly radius and detail holding the amount at 25 or below). also see what happens if you decrease recovery to about 50% and increase contrast if it is not at 100% already.Hi,
Thanks for the feedback.
I reduced fill to 66 from 100 and I boosted recovery to 73.
What do you think?

or photography.
It would be interesting to try, each figure in mirror, other out, both in, both out that with one or both in both places.
Mirror is a great way to play with image ambiguity.
also clothing, on off etc, though that is harder.
very good shot. Pls take nthe right way, but I think one of the variations might produce a great shot.
(but then again you wouldnt post the BEST here! Not after Guy's or someone talking about image theft.)
