OT: Digital black & white

I went with some friends to the Lee Miller exhibition at the Imperial War Museum today - it's a superb exhibition and I recommend it very highly. I took my Fuji X20 with me because one of my friends has one on my recommendation but couldn't figure out how to set it to black & white only, which

Re: OT: Digital black & white

Bob, that looks just like the kind of image you get from an older gen cellphone with a fairly lo-rez sensor, like 3-4 mpix. How have you got the JPG rendering configured? They usually provide two adjustments. Eg: in Ricoh's case, number of pixels (image size) and JPEG Quality (1 to 4 stars). If

Re: OT: Digital black & white

I remember the first time I went with my girlfriend to the print room at the Photographers' Gallery here in London flipping through albums of original prints by HCB that we could have had for a couple of hundred pounds each. Of course back then we didn't have anything remotely like £200-. 2 or

Re: OT: Digital black & white

Thanks, I was hoping you'd jump in. My Q button doesn't do anything. My settings are consistent with yours, although I have IS switched off. I shot this with raw+jpeg, but I don't think that would account for it. Actually, I suspect I'm leading people up the garden path, because I did tweak

Re: OT: Digital black & white

Thanks - I was on BWR too, but 0 on the others. I'll try that combo. As I said to Cotty though - squirting it through LR has queered the pitch, so I'll play around a bit. B > On 8 Nov 2015, at 23:09, David J Brooks wrote: > > Bob, i have my X30 set tp yhis: > > My

Re: OT: Digital black & white

Bob, i have my X30 set tp yhis: My favorite B settings on the Fuji cameras for most situations are: – Film simulation: BR (B Red Filter) – Sharpness: +1 – Highlight Tone: +1 – Shadow Tone: +2 – Noise Reduction: -2 This will give you a fairly contrasty B look when exposed correctly. from

I don't see what you're talking about on my phone. And if I did see it I wouldn't have an answer as to what it is. I do like the shot a lot, though. My turn to be reminded of something:

Thanks Frank. I don't think mine's even half as good as Henry's, so I'll let you have a copy for 1/4th what Christies are asking. B > On 8 Nov 2015, at 23:36, knarf wrote: > > I don't see what you're talking about on my phone. And if I did see it I > wouldn't have

Thanks Bruce. I think I shot myself into the foot with LR. B > On 8 Nov 2015, at 22:40, Bruce Walker wrote: > > Bob, that looks just like the kind of image you get from an older gen > cellphone with a fairly lo-rez sensor, like 3-4 mpix. > > How have you got the JPG

Re: OT: Digital black & white

Maybe ten years ago there was a Magnum exhibit that showed up at a gallery here in Toronto. I think the only HCB was ~Sur le Rue Mouffetard~. Can't remember the size but it was by far the most expensive print there at $8,000CDN. Everything else was $2,000 to $4,000. Even at the higher price I
