Advertisement Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Hi ustein, Take a look here M8 Gallery: Oak Trees. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
leicamann Posted February 5, 2007 Share #2  Posted February 5, 2007 Uwe, these are nice but too small..I know that you can make your " Flash Stage Area" much bigger.....??  The other thing that I like to see more from M8 users is more color photography.....why in the heck get this fancy digital camera only to pump out B&W images..they are nice but...come on..lets see what this camera can do  Thanks for sharing  Regards, Leicamann Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ustein Posted February 5, 2007 Author Share #4  Posted February 5, 2007 Here is a gallery with larger previews:  Gallery  Color or B&W?  You may not know but we (Bettina and I) are probably more known for color photographs. But these oak tree shots were clearly made with B&W in mind. I don't like a single of these shots in color.  We don't do B&W because of the Leica but we use the Leica because we more and more love abstracting colors. Recently we began using more and more colorized photos (blend o f color and B&W shots).  Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am waiting to go for a M8, at the moment still with M4, and having never seriously worked with a Digi, I pose to you a technical question: when you plan to get shots definitely in B&W, is better (or even possible, I do not know) to use the classical filters (I often use them in B&W) or to manage the RAW file in lightroom via Software ?

I particularly like 8, 9 and 10. The tones are just exceptional in the b&w versions.  BTW, your second link still goes to the b&w.  And to Arthur--you really should start your own thread.

ustein Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share #10 Â Posted February 6, 2007 Brent, Â interesting I like these shots too. I don't think I would have taken them with my other cameras (actually hard to explain). I also normally use more tele range and this is a 28mm (~35mm). I shot them with B&W in mind (actually they also make great colorized images). Â Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie Roberts Posted February 6, 2007 Share #11 Â Posted February 6, 2007 Uwe-- Â What to say except they're gorgeous!? I hope you use that 28 more often! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ustein Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share #12 Â Posted February 6, 2007 >I hope you use that 28 more often! Â You can be sure. I had great fun! Will also have a look at the Tri-Elmar 28-35-50. Â The next portfolio will be from China Town in SF. Â Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asher Kelman Posted February 6, 2007 Share #13 Â Posted February 6, 2007 This is a wonderful series. The 28mm focal lenth seems perfect for this. Â I wonder how you are going to print them. These would go well in a collection. Â Asher Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickR Posted February 7, 2007 Share #15 Â Posted February 7, 2007 Forgive the stupid question, but what is "colorized"? Â BTW, whatever it means, I really like your shots. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ustein Posted February 7, 2007 Author Share #16  Posted February 7, 2007 Colorized means for me a blend of a B&W image and a color image.  We do this in LightZone:  - Create a good Color image - Add a Channel Mixer in LightZone - Create a good B&W tonality (the image has to be a good B&W image) - Tone down the opacity of the channel Mixer and let some color bleed through  We plan an article soon.  Uwe Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
