I love your B&W work Chris. They're all great, but there's something about the first one that draws me in the most.
Thanks so much Rob Yes, it's unusual in that there is some sort of juxtaposition in the lines at 45 degrees that the tiles create and the line of tables which trails off at an isometric angle. I quite like it myself.
Wonderful work Chris! They're all good it's hard to choose just one, the ones that captures my attention the most the last two, sun rays and waiting for a Gelato.
Great candid shots, agree with the first one being a cracker but the landscape shots are really good as well with the light through the trees, very nice
> Rick - They're different cameras for different purposes really. Where the RX1 is arguably the best dedicated 35mm camera out there for travel and street, the OM-D is complex and ultimately flexible. I wouldn't give one up for the other because I use them differently. If you asked me which I'd grab going out the hypothetical door if I could only take one, it'd be the RX1 every time.
Cool collection!
Some interesting processing. Done onboard or latter on the PC?
Thanks Deeno It's about .001%of what I've been doing lately. I don't want to flood the place with my black and whites... These shown here are conversions done within Lightroom 4.
I'd like to say that I only ever shoot RAW (.ARW in Sony-speak) and convert to mono, but I don't always. On the odd occasion I like to use the in-camera high contrast mono process as well as the rich-tone black and white process. The latter takes three -/+ev variants and merges similar to an HDR process - but in mono is far different to colour HDR. You don't gat garish colour, for one.
In fact, I'm going to the Campbelltown Steam & Machinery Museum for their open day today and will take the RX1, locked in one of the mono JPG modes, and my Contax T2 film camera for a bit of fun. I'll post some from the RX1 afterwards By the way - I still love my OM-D, and use it for much of my street work with the 75mm f/1.8 attached. Hard to beat!
