Dierk-

 

Thank you for the reply. I remember "good old fashion automatic" well. Set the Vivitar 283 on yellow, lens on f/5.6 and always use Tri-X. Use the Metz 54 pretty much the same way now.

 

BTW, Your photos of the flower are quite impressive!

 

Best,

thanks very much, John

 

and more from this endless winter

Leica M Monochrom with Super-Elmar 21mm, red filter

I love this lens!

I still did not find out, why the images after the export from LR4 are not as sharp as the original

I reduced to max 2000 pix wide, 100% jpg and low sharpening for screen? :(

Really like it Mark. Did you use a color filter? thanks....Peter

 

Thanks Peter & Tri,

 

forgot to write that I did NOT use a colour filter. I think it's really important to realise that contrary to what many write here that colour filtration is not necessarily required to get outstanding photographs from this camera.

 

I find that I can get overall excellent control of local luminance and tones in Monochrom files in Photoshop, including the use of selective highlight,mid-tone,shadow burning and dodging. For this photograph I did create a separate layer to work on the sky, but regardless I would have done this with an M9 file.

 

I'm working on a few more photographs from this trip and will post them later today.

 

Regards,

Mark

Zebra landscape.

MM and 0.95 Noctilux + orange filter.

 

Fantastic photograph. I have also used my Noctilux (albeit the E60 1.0/50) for landscape with great effect, but not yet with the Monochrom.

 

Where was this photographed?

 

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark,

Glad you liked my shot. I agree with you that (despite all the vociferous opinions to the contrary) the MM does not really seem to need a coloured filter, not for landscapes anyway.

I have used the MM and the Nocti, with and without filtration and can see no visible difference, but leave the orange filter on anyway. With this shot I did a bit of work in LR4 to bump up

the contrast and blacks plus some work on the sky.

This particular shot was taken on the Monaro high plains region of NSW, about an hours drive south of Cooma.

BTW I really like your NT images as posted above!!

Regards,

Dee.

I've never seen a Noct so effective for landscape. This one really knocked my eyes out. Thanks for posting.

 

Having just looked at the beautiful images on your website

I take your remarks as a huge compliment...thank you!!

Dee.

Thanks Dee,

 

I know the area but haven't been there for years. think I may have to take a drive down the Monaro highway with my camera. The drive further South to the Falls Creek area is also spectacular, even out of the snow season!

 

If I may, the last photograph is compositionally great EXCEPT I think you may have killed it with PP :eek:. There are blown highlights in the middle (? fields or river, I can't tell) and you've lost most of the information in the sky and clouds. Please repost it.

 

Regards,

Mark
