Hehe, wrong forum ... should be "Small Sensor Cameras"

Nice pictures ... even if I HATE B&W ... B&W is a backstep to year 1899 ... sepia is better (anno 1905)

But each one as he thinks

Hot, I think you're missing so much... B&W can be glorious! It's not a step back by virtue that you're not removing anything, but simply adding a whole other palette to work with.

Cheers,

"caaaan be glorious" - buuuuut isn't for me! Do you know? - Years ago KODAK invented color film!
But okay ... some people drive cars from 1930 ...

Just because it predates colour doesn't make it obsolete.

Love the first one, Simon.

B&W just works for some pics. Sometimes colour can detract from the image.

Simon: Besides it's B&W (and just B&W matches the subject perfectly, imho *) quite a bold PP on the first one but, I really like it and particularly the composition. :thumbup: Also a nice example showing the potential of the widely underestimated 16mm, f/2.8, if and when used by a capable photographer.


Thx for sharing!

* PS: And I like the B&W clearly better than the colour version, you posted in the NEX-7 thread, BTW.

Thanks gents!

That picture consisted of a complex setup: me lounging on a bench, pressing the shutter as interesting people passed. Personally, the 16mm is a favourite of mine, I seem to have a "good" copy (maybe as it is an original version?) and I've been very pleased with its performance.

Here's another B&W from the NEX 7 & E55-210mm lens.

Hmmm, for such postpostpostprocessed & manipulated B&W pictures you do not need a NEX7
- each other camera makes also such photos ;-)

You are welcome and nice to meet you too, Simon

I thought there was not such a thing as a straight "as shot" unmanipulated B&W image fnom any camera. What would Ansel have said? :grin:
