I think the thread is interesting because it shows how meaningless ISO numbers are to digital files and how malleable RAW files manipulated with ACR really are. Throw in a little Noiseware (or your favorite noise reduction software) and digital is just way more versatile than that roll of Tri-X.

so i've finally gotten around to exporting my presets i use for my high iso shots to my website so any of ya'all who use lightroom feel free to see if they work for you if you want.

happy shooting folks.

edit: PS these presets only work with raw files...sending a jpeg through these will give you a file that looks like an alligator chewed it up and spit it back out.

Many thanks indeed! Very useful presets

Sean Reid wrote that he does it do produce a B&W image on the LCD screen. It helps to visualize the final product. Not having that Ansel Adams eye for previsualization, it makes some sense to me.

For a professional your system sounds very efficient, but as an amateur, it is much to sophisticated for my needs, not to mention budget.

I'll try both methods as I go along and see what works best for me. The bottom line is that since Reid also reconverts his Raw images that survive the cut back to color in PP in order to process with some of the very sophisticated BW conversion programs his method does include an extra step.

Actually, I usually use the JFI profiles to go straight from RAW to B&W in the C1 conversions. In many cases, I never even see a color version of my pictures (and don't want to).

Cheers,

Sean
 
No problem, glad they were of use.
I was recently browsing a few photographers websites and saw that they actually SELL their PS actions and Lightroom Presets!!?!?!?!
Anywho, just glad to help out...hope to see some pictures.

Happy Shooting as always,
Tom

My new cam

My new cam

Hey everyone. This is my first post with a new M8.
I purchased it last Saturday. I had a bunch of equipment stolen from my luggage while in transit to Buenos Aires a couple of weeks ago. Soo my Canon 1ds is in the hands of some happy thief.

I love the minimalist approach of this kit I shoot film in 4x5 (arca) and MF (rollei) and this camera fits right in.

This is from last night. I love the look at 2500 - very filmlike. I used the icc phase one sepia profile. No color, luminence, or noise reduction.

I will almost always choose to shoot film, but it was raining tonight and I was too lazy to walk about enough to kill an entire roll at 3200, so I just took a couple with the M8. I thought of this thread when I cranked it up to 2500, so here's my attempt at sharing:

Never used my M8 at 2500 but couldn't resist ... purely from curiosity I guess. Very unimaginative shot of a bowl of fruit with a 90mm Summicron but it gave me an idea of what to expect and I have to say I don't mind the noise at all ... but then again I've never been a real fan of the rather brutal reality of high end digital images!

I really need to get me a 90 cron one of these days.
Do you use a magnifier at all with that lens keith?
 
Off topic but Thomas, since you recently graduated from NESOP, I was just curious how prevalent rangefinders were among students. I've been out of that loop for so long I have no idea what is hot in photography schools. Thanks.

they weren't unheard of. There were 4 students with leicas, 1 with a bessa, 1 with a contax g2, 1 had a russian of some sort...i forget which, and 1 had an epson rd-1 for a while (all these numbers were from my class of only ~60 people...so that's not too bad). Then there were 3 instructors that shot leicas as well. Believe it or not...and this is way off topic for this thread...but film is making a huge comeback there.

i'd say the breakdown was something like this
1% Sony DLSR
4% MF of some variety
10% 4x5
11% rangefinder
37% Canon DSLR
37% Nikon DSLR

It's not normally a lens I would put on the M8 but it was sitting there next to my M3 in the cabinet, which is what I would normally use it on, and I thought why not?

They're a very heavy and large lens (being an early example) but I must admit it felt good on the M8 ... well photographing a bowl of fruit at least! :p Having seen what it does on the M8 I might have to actually consider getting a magnifier and using it more as they truly are a gorgeous bokeh machine. :)
