For some reason your images aren't showing on the page. I always look forward to your photos but can't see these.
I can't see them either. However, as there are several 'likes', I guess some people can.For some reason your images aren't showing on the page. I always look forward to your photos but can't see these.
I got the CCD MM1. I need to get some filters and I need to work on adding more contrast to my post processing.Cindy
Like they say "Better late than never."
Did you get the MM1 or MM2? I found the orange and yellow filters advantageous. Of course a red filter brings out the clouds against a blue sky.
I have plenty of red, orange and yellow filters for the MM in 39 and 46 including Heliopan and B+W left. Also found some 39 ND's too. The green helps bring out the character in old men's faces, but never use it with women!
That is a great MM since after about 20 seconds it will show you a DNG histogram. I found those files reacted very nicely to SEFEX Pro if there is a style in it that works for you.I got the CCD MM1. I need to get some filters and I need to work on adding more contrast to my post processing.
Congratulations!I finally got a Monochrom! I'm only 5 years late to the party. This was my first day out with it. There is not much to shoot here this time of year, but I wanted to get acquainted.

Thank you, Robert. I am not a lover of extreme contrast, either. I do think this one has too much middle grey, so I'm going to try to reach a happy medium. This was the first crack at processing a monochrom file. I love how much information and detail there is.Congratulations!
It's nice to see a b/w image these days which is in greyscale. So many, to my eyes, are very harsh and very dark. Perhaps it's the modern idiom, perhaps it's just me, but I don't really like it that much.
