Hi Robert,

Thank You for Your kind response - I did a few pictures with the SF 40, but natural light was most appropriate.

this is such a great scene in a big way but IMHO the digital rendition kills it.  I'd make a friendly suggestion to try to think of a B&W film stock to replicate it here.  It will add some classic-ness and authenticity to the image.  The level of micro-contrast is amateurish and, quite frankly, heart-breaking.  I am only making this comment b/c the scene is soooo good and well-framed.

I've only just seen all the comments about my picture here, since I haven't been on the site since I posted it.

Thanks for your input. I take on board entirely what you say about the micro-contrast. I know I probably pushed it further than some might like. Actually I did use Silver EFX, but for this particular image I set the structure high and knocked the blacks back, as I really wanted to pull all the detail and other-worldliness out of the scene. I wasn't particularly interested in 'classic-ness' or 'authenticity' since I don't think the scene matches those criteria. I sometimes want to make photographs that look like illustrations and this is one of those times. Look at pictures by, for example, Daido Moriyama to see his vision of life in the city. It's not all about perfect tonal curves and the correct film stock. Nothing is more authentic than anything else, if you ask me. 

 

Anyway, it's only a photograph, so don't go breaking your heart over it, there's plenty of room for differing opinions!

 

BTW when I shot black and white film I generally shot Ilford HP5 plus and always used Rodinal developer.

 

Cheers, Peter

Thanks for your note, Peter.  I am glad that you have seen my comment for what it is worth, which is just my POV, as a old fashioned film-only photographer.    I happen to think that so many great digital photos, posted here and elsewhere on the WWW, are horribly over processed to the point of ruin.  Part of it has to do with trying to improve the un-improvable.  Other times it has to do with not knowing when to stop, or not having visualized a proper reference point.  I suppose, based on what you are saying, that there are those times in which the result is very exacted.    The fact that others are making a career out of micro contrast and "structure" escapades doesn't really do much for me.  We can't be followers to anyone or anything other than  - to borrow an expression - our own mind's eye.  Having said this, the great thing about digital is that you can always start from scratch on the editing.  I'd suggest that you take another look at this great scene you've captured in 3-5 years time and reconsider.  I believe that the scene itself it is definitely worthy of public display...  Congrats again and best regards.  Adam
