I'm so jetlagged I don't know who I am. Still edited some tourist shots from Boston.
 
.... but if you don't mind a tecky question - what was your method for b&w conversion: the tones are so beautifully distributed that I'd love to know?
(if you don't mind sharing the information, of course).
Thanks Mani, - no artistry here, just mucking around.
It's three bracketed DNGs tiffed as-is in Photoshop. Then a tone-map in Photomatix. Then conversion to B&W in Photoshop. No funny tricks at all. It's the green channel that does it. I always hope to make life easy and just tone-map B&W jpegs, but it never works - it's the channel filters that do the trick.
my muckarounds with HDR vs darkroom chemistry is here http://picasaweb.google.com/cjbroadbent/Formats?feat=directlink.
 
Just a few shots from going to buy dinner tonight(last night was cold, today insanely hot for a place with no A/C), i've started to become overly obsessed with color lately.

summicron 50 v1 without ir filter. dev in ps with "default camera settings" as the camera's colour profile.
 
iso1250 w/o ir filter. the candles are one of those self-relighting trick candles. here u can see the ir glow from the wick just before it relights itself. :)

haha, i love using the m8 without the IR filter for random things like this. I spent a whole day once just wandering around my apparentment taking pictures of remote controls while pressing the volume buttons once (granted, there was some alcohol involved, but it was a lot of fun)

This was my first ever photo with the M8 - of the guy that sold it to me (Mr. Tomaru) while he was filling out the registration papers @ Leica Ginza... Nearly forgot about it!
