No offense, but what is the point of photographing a painting in color in black and white?

Maybe to show image quality and low light capability?

You could say the same about any photograph because reality is not monochromatic, but some representations of reality look better in black and white.  Just my opinion 🙂

I hear you, but in this particular case, the photograph of a painting, the artist has already decided how he sees the world, namely in color.

not enough details in the painting to really say anything and at that iso my Q2M would probably give almost the same results. Interesting to be able to se or work with original DNG files above iso 50,000

That painting is in a relatively dark corner of my home. I often use it to check the quality of high ISO images of various cameras. I like how the monochrome sensors work and I liked the results of the B&W conversion.

But, thank you for C&C.

The point of an image thread is not to run comparisons with other cameras.

Don't they miss it at all at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam? 😆
 

Zitat

But, thank you for C&C. 

Please forgive my lack of knowledge of internet lingo, but what does C&C stand for?

Fortunately that interweb thingy has easy search capability… comments and critiques.

My painting is a replica of Rijksmuseum painting, signed 1657, while Rijksmuseum's painting is from 1656.

Christie's page has a full discussion of the variants.

C&C stands for critiques and comments. It is often used when sharing images online, e.g., "C&C is welcome."
