Slowly melting on the shingle beach after a rare (for this part of England) snowfall.

Leica R5, Summicron-R 50 (II), Ektar 100, Nikon CS5000ED, cropped to approx 75mm angle of view and cranked up by 1.5 stops in Capture One to compensate for the camera trying to push the snow down to zone 5.  Between Ektar and the scanner there is a lot of latitude.

One of the fascinating things about digital image processing is thinking through the extent to which it emulates techniques learned in the wet darkroom.  Looking at my picture of the melting snowman, I realised that, were I working with an enlarger (albeit in monochrome) I would likely make several prints with some dodging and burning before I arrived at something I was happy with.  In the digital world and putting to one side any manipulation of the film development step (in my case, I leave it to a mini-lab), the raw scan is like the negative, the software (in my case Capture One) is like the manipulation on the enlarger (cropping, adjusting etc) and the output (emulating the print) a 16bit TIFF file.  The Jpeg for web use or a paper print is derived from the TIFF.

A purist of course would argue that an AdobeRGB TIFF file can only be evaluated on a properly-calibrated, wide-gamut monitor.  I don't have one of those but find that my hardware-locked sRGB does a reasonable job (particularly with the sRGB Jpeg).  I recognise that once that Jpeg is put out on the web, it is impossible to control what sort of screen it will display on.

My first attempt at the snowman is below.  I thought it was too dark (although this was reasonably accurate given the dull lighting conditions under a leaden sky) so I did a second attempt (posted above at #74763) but on reflection I think that is too light.  The challenge with white on white is how to keep some texture in the snow.  The third attempt (below) includes quite a lot of dodging (in wet darkroom terms) using the soft masking feature of Capture One.

I tried it for the first time, it is from 1959, and I like the results a lot. It is a joy to use such a vintage lens.

Look at the eyes of this girl and you know why you take such a lense.

Rocky, great display of reflections, the warm evening colors and the murmur of the city life.

Dmitry, I like the silent interaction of the straight lines in this picture.The person with the bike is the salt in the soup.

The right picture to start my day with. Phil, there are postcards and then..postcards. But what a postcard you made out of this mundane subject, the nemesis of us  lesser gifted... framing, amount  of backlight, combination of negative and positive spaces, the dew, perfect in every aspect.
