Adobe lightroom, usually I just choose one of the presets on the left hand side(Yellow filter, High contrast, Low contrast...etc) and then play with the settings on the right hand side(Recovery, curves, contrast...etc)

One more from the Airport: Chit-Chat

That is an interesting aspect ratio, you are using there Mingkookoo - I like the guitar player!

Great shot Dirk!

I was going for 16:9 but keyed in 18:9 by mistake. Well I ended up liking the 18:9 very much so I ended up using it.

Lovely portraits Collum - processing fits perfectly as well!

Those flowers look viscous with the high contrast BW conversion mingkookoo - nice!

I am liking my Nikkor-S.C 50 1.4 more and more ;-)

So much, that I sold my seldom used 28 Cron ASPH Yesterday, to pick up some more LTM glass - with a tear in the eye :-(

"sold"

Dirk, love the 28 Cron Asph Money shot

The 28 Cron Asph is my only Leica lens, it's an amazing piece of glass. Still learning how to use it

One from Sat:

That composition fits the format perfectly - great development and detail!

Yes, the 28 Cron is an amazing lens indeed. Looking at the picture, makes me feel sad actually. I had to sell it though, as it makes no sense, having this lens laying around unused. I will sell a few more items over the next weeks for sure - want to slim down on gear.

That does no mean, to not buy new stuff ;-)

New Canon 100/2 LTM (did I mention, that I already love that lens?):

Thanks Dirk.

Love the first shot!!

Slim down on gear........... am I going to see a M9 in your hands in the near future

Hey Dirk, good luck with your M9 purchase. Make sure you come back to this thread and visit from time to time !!

No worries mingkookoo - if I should buy one (and that is a big "if" still, as I still keep doubts about the price to gain a stop and a bit width, but loose the nice compact files and possibly some sharpness), I surely will not sell my M8.2.
This particular M8.2 is grown to me and to my enjoyment works absolutely flawless without any of the reported issues, people have with M8s (including a very sweet, spot and line less sensor ;-) ).

That second shot is great btw - wonderful light in a quite busy scene to explore! Great development with this one.

 

[mingkookoo]

Thanks Dirk

Got lucky with the second shot.

I think the M8/M8.2 is fantastic but I might just rent a M9 for a weekend this Summer
