Nice images. I've never used the Monochrome so I have no idea what the files look like straight out of the camera.  Did you do much in the way of PP to these?

Interesting structures.  Is that a set or an historical location?

In answer to the monochrome picture it's variable. With black and white contrast and tone has always been a matter of taste. Here's a silver efexed monochrom from today, M11M summilux 35mm 1.4 pre ASPH. I'll post the raw picture in a couple of days;-)

After the summit, against my better judgement we'd just climbed the summit behind from sea level. Shot yesterday as now past midnight!

Yes, I spent enough hours in the darkroom to appreciate that. Mind you, that was 20 years ago and I migrated to Photoshop and pixel manipulation. And if I'm completely honest, I'm not a fan of the effect applied on the images in the first post.  The image of the summit is more to my tase, the highlights in the foreground are the best part of the image.  Controlled the exposure on the snow... it's a big range of tones, the snow must have been blown way out.

So as far as the set of images posted ...  For me, while the mountain image is my preference, I think the Saloon set would be the winner (for me) if processed differently.  Nice work BTW!

BTW... you didn't mention if the location was a set or historical site.

Hi @S58 the images of the saloon bar etc  aren't mine, they are @algrove.

Here's the mountain straight out of camera shot. This particular shot hasn't got as much detail in the shadow and highlights as normal due to the veiling flare of shooting a lens from 1976 pretty fully open directly into the sun;-)

Below is the DNG -> export without any treatment. They tend to be fairly flat. I think that is probably the outcome of 14-16 stops of dynamic range when many greyscale images don't need all of that and sit in a band in the middle. It's no different to my eye from using multigrade paper and reaching for the filter to ensure the blacks are black and whites are white where appropriate. I can't think of many images I took in my film days where I went to the darkroom and knocked a print out without elements of contrast alteration and dodging and burning guided by a test stripping print and usually a couple of prints before happy. I'm sure you where the same!

Chromatic photography has so much more going on that one is much less likely to notice a flat image as one would be waxing lyrical about muted pastel colours. Something hard to represent in B&W imagery.

For those that want a quick fix I find the high contrast JPEGs pretty good but TBH I don't use them as I want every bit of control I can get.

Incredible tonal range ... Ansel Adams would have had fun with the current tech!
