Thanks for the details, Cotty. From other peoples shots I have seen on
line I did not think the gritty look was "camera default"
By the by my second camera system is the OMD. I am seldom disappointed
with the results and it is great short trip companion and old Pentax
glass can be excellent on the Oly.

I shoot jpegs in camera. I have several settings for colour and mono.
With mono I have 2 settings on custom functions dial (C1 and C2) that i
can select quickly. C1 (this pic) is my favourite. Harsh and grainy,
high auto-ISO with increased contrast. A 'Theriaultian' setting, if you
will. My default black and white setting. 4000X2664 (3:2) pixels.
Into PS and I just give it a levels hit but it never adjusts much, and
often I will leave it as is. I didn't crop this one at all, which is
slightly unusual for me as the optical VF of the camera only covers
about 85% and I find myself cropping in a bit to match what I saw. I try
and compensate when shooting but it never quite works. I sometimes shoot
with the LCD but only when I can't get my eye to the finder, or it's a
low or high level shot (viewing angle on the LCD is sensational).
For web I pop it down to 1000 or 1200 pixels across and apply a tad of
sharpening.
It reminds me so much of Ilford HP5. I'm really just carrying on where I
left off 25 years ago!
Thanks for looking.
