these days are rih in color and vivid sky panoramas. Our landscape here is slightly hilly, scattered houses and buildings are often spoiling the view. So we always try to find places with calm and undisturbed vantage points. Contrast were high so I tried a series in b&w Canon 5D MKII with Elmarit R 28 mm Canon 5D MKII with Elmarit R 28 mm Canon 5D MKII with Elmarit R 28 mm, polarizer, ND graded filter X1 X1

Dear all, First of all let me tell you that I am very new to this forum and even to photography in general. I bought my first camera in January (Fuji X-E1) and, as soon as I completely fell in love with B&W photography, decided to acquire my very first rangefinder in September. Now I just completed my first project, a documentary of the daily lives of our elderly in a retirement home. I would be so grateful if you could take a brief moment of your time to give me some feedback and share your thoughts and advise with me on how to improve my photography skills. Unfortunately I was not able to attach photographs in this message but you can find a first selection here : https://www.facebook.com/ChasingSoulsPhotography Flickr: Chasing Souls - Photography by F.

dear all, This is probably not new to you, but I've spent some time on the web and fora searching for related infos and couldn't find it. Decided to bug your guys here again. Thanks for your patience. A little background: I have used Nikon D300 and Nikon Capture NX for many years. Being the original manufacturer's software, Capture NX gives RAW shooters the full range of settings that match in-camera JPG settings. For example, one could start from the RAW, set the file to STANDARD rendering, and work on it. This is very crucial to my landscape works as Capture NX was the only software that could produce proper greens on D300 raw files. (Nikon kept the RAW juices to themselves, just like Canon. Lightroom was never able to recreate the D300 colors from the RAW files) I believe many M9 users find the in-camera B&W JPG very pleasing at times and would like to reproduce the "looks" in Lightroom from the DNG files. But I found that there is close to no informations about this on the internet. As an engineer, I understand that the JPG engine (chip) inside M9 is entirely Leica's and would remain exclusive until Leica is willing to share the recipe with Adobe. However, many must have tried to recreate the effect by creating some presets, no? I wonder if you guys have some recommendations on this? I am willing to pay for the presets as long as they are close enough to the M9 in-camera rendering of B&W. Thank you so much Jerry knopfler dans la rue 諾弗勒在街頭 -
Some photos to witness the "Desmalgada", a village festival in northern Italy (Brusago, Trentino), where several farmers join down to the valley exposing their cows and goats beautifully decorated to win the prizes. In the occasion they also sell cheese and yogurt and honey... fantastic food! Thanks for looking and c&c welcome!

Rummaging through some photos, knowing that some of them need a little time to grow on me, I found this one. Getting a little better at DPP helps. M8

Hi all My first post here, I recently purchased my first Leica and after initial disappointment have quickly grown to love it dearly. I sold my f2 28mm for a f1.5 50mm Zeiss and an f1.4 Voigt 35mm which are both smashing. I have noticed that one some shots a pronounced horizontal striation manifesting above 800ASA on the M9 - are this sensor artifacts? They appear particularly evident when graded for B&W. Please advise! Thanks very much Shane Shane Daly ========= Cinematographer Shane Daly: Home UK +44 7973 445 428 US +1 310 746 6516 skype shanejustindaly

In digital I always shoot RAW For B&W I used to use analog. Now I'm trying to get good (even better) B&W result with digital. I like the B&W setting on the DLUX5, because I can see and check my pictures in B&W on the screen, but I'm puzzled about developing the RAW images. When I open the RAW they are yellow and it is often very hard to get even the same result as the camera B&W jpeg. Can somebody enlighten me? Is there any advantage in shooting B&W RAW over normal color RAW?

I'm interested to know what 'recipe' Leica is using to produce their 'incamera' jpgs. In other words: if I were to make my own BW jpgs in LR 4.1 from the imported DNG what BW 'curve' / mix / contrast etc. should I be using to get as close as possible to their incamera jpg. Of course I can try to achieve it by comparing (trial and error) but maybe this is known by some of you and published somewhere on this forum or elsewhere. Thanks in advance!

these are from Union Square in front of a coffee-bar. After a long walk we neede a break. There I installed my X1 on a Gorillapod and waited for people to pass my prefocussed lens. I tried to catch different types of people.

Just obtained a Monochrom yesterday. I am impressed with the details of the DNG it produced. first few photos, and behold, a huge dust! blow it off and it's perfect again! But just can't believe a camera with 100actuation of shutter have such a dirty sensor! I am blown away by the details this camera can produce. Love it!

Hi there, new to the forums here, please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section. I have been looking for a good 28mm (near 35mm equiv.) lens for both IR photography and B&W once I sell my full spectrum modified Olympus. After researching a while I have come down to these three options; Ultron 28/1.9 = Good low contrast B&W, IR?? Biogon 28/2.8 = Not so good B&W (higher contrast) but good IR Summaron 35/3.5 (Not 28mm I know) = Good B&W and apparently good for IR (due to coatings) The Ultron seems ideal for my needs except there is very little information on its use for IR. Can anyone confirm whether it is sharp in the spectrum or suffers from hotspots at certain apertures? Samples would be great to. The Biogon has IR focus marking which would probably make my life alot easier except I've heard its not the best for B&W, unless some samples convince me otherwise. For IR it doesn't suffer any hotspots according to the guys @ getdpi. If I can see more IR action (samples ofc) from the Summaron I might be sold. Although a filtering solution for this lens seems like a pain, if anyone is using this for IR how have you gone about with it? Just using the SOOGZ adapter? Any samples of the three in b&w and IR are greatly appreciated! If there are any other possible lens options apart from those 3 that I should consider, please let me know also. Thanks for the help

A very simple question for experienced digital photographers: I have always taken B&W analogue stills, although, having bought a Leica D-Lux 3 last year, I started using colour photography and Photoshop to process it with, I must confess, a lot of fun. Still, I continue to be in love with B&W. Here comes the question: to obtain better stills in B&W, is it better to shoot in color and shift to B&W with Photoshop, or you get better results starting directly in B&W? Maybe it does not make any sense taking B&W stills with a digital camera, or does it? Thanks for your answers. gpt

Here is another one from my M6. My boss take a photo of me&my friend with olympus ep-1 and loaded it into his monitor. I grab my M6 and then ... Have a nice day!

What are the advantages, if any, of setting the M9 menu to Black & White instead of just converting the color DNG file to B&W at the time of post-processing in Aperture, Lightroom, or Photoshop etc.?
