Eoin, I'm amazed how few of the people in your shots are ever looking at the camera. Here in The Hague I often get evil stares (or even security guards coming up to me)...

 

These b&w conversions are very nice. I didn't know Ektar lends itself so well to being converted. Are you doing anything more than just desaturating in Photoshop?

A good way to convert to B+W in photoshop is

Click image, adjustments,Channel Mixer

Click monochrome, in red channel input 28, in green 8, in blue 64

Then add a slight curves adjustment

 

slide film

with above settings

and with extra unsharp mask, amount 35 Radius 70 threshold 0

Personally I avoid bringing up the sharpness and clarity and  prefer the first BW conversion here above , if I may chime in here ! YMMV :-)

Thanks very much for the explanation, that's an interesting way which I'll have to play around with.

 

I also often use USM in this "inverted" way with a very large radius and a low amount to increase contrast. It's very effective on certain scans. And it can be used together with the "normal" (if that's a correct description) USM of a high amount and small radius, which tends to make the grain crispier.

 

I'm using the USM to add contrast

Two snapshots from a road-/surftrip last year along the french atlantic coast. The first one is probably the best scan I've ever gotten from my Pakon (color and sharpness), hence a little bigger ;)

 

Leica M6 - 35mm Cron IV - Kodak 200 pushed to 400 (probably won't do that again)

Nice shot and colours, Philipp. I particularly like the first one.
