Film like M8 images:

I've been experimenting with image presets in Lightroom to favorable results. BTW I got the ideas from none other then captainvideo on flickr. They were worked from Velvia presets that I downloaded along with my free Lightroom trial- gotta love it!

I'm one month into my learning curve on the M8 and two months for digital starting with the R-D1s. I say this only because the digital workflow is not rocket science. The creative tools available to us are straightforward, rewarding and fun. Hopefully other M8 photogs will contribute images to this thread as well as your post process techniques.

Cheers!

Sorry Ted ... I won't be convinced until I can drag them out of a draw in ten years time and discover fading and spots of mildew!

Nice shots. Btw, befor reading your caption for this image, I said to myself, hm.. this looks like what I get from from G2... very cool!

Thanks for the compliment- now that is a Contax G2 right? (and not the other "C" word- yes?)

PS. How did you post my shot so big and beautiful here on this board? I've not been able to post anything larger then a measly 150-pixel size lately (anybody else?)- I don't even bother posting them anymore- just a link. Is this fixed?
