Thanks Dave and love the 2nd one in your last set.

Cheers my friend!

Yes it does!!! Have you shared it with us yet?

Jim hello!

Re: PP - nothing really fancy, probably just inherited the PP technique from how i process the Nikon D800E .nef files which have unprecendented latitude in terms of DR.

Basically here's what I do in LR: adjust exposure; push and pull the highlights, shadows, white and black sliders; then after that I tinker with the curves, being aware to protect both the highlights and shadows; apply vignetting.

Here is a 100% crop of the shot of me. That lens is awesome!

Skin tones are nicely rendered in here.

I've had the Monochrom for six days now, and it's been an absolute blast so far. I love this camera.

This thread - which I lurked for the last few months - has been an ongoing inspiration, and invaluable resource in evaluating the purchase. Thanks so much for sharing your work and your experience with the Monochrom. I'll continue to follow with interest.

Here are some of my first shots taken in these six days. I only shot at night time, or indoor, here in London, except for a quick walk last Sunday - but unfortunately it was raining. I'm looking forward to the weekend to go out and catch some daylight.

Congrats! the MM is designed for the night. Nice set and please do share more.

I like your use of flash. SD24 right? Do you tune it down a stop or 2?

Thanks, yeah actually I tune it down -3 sometimes. I also just got a small fuji flash to play with because it has a much smaller profile...
