Good Day Flexers.
Most of my B&W images are rather dull, sort of low key style, some
may strike out the word "key", ahem :)
The following are manipulations under Silkypix 5, my only and
favorite for the DigiluX 3:
Here it goes: http://xavierf.b.free.fr/Temp/L1000893_dev.jpg
And what I've done on raw file:
a) white balance, camera settings
b) exposure, mostly camera setting, a little less.
c) monochrome conversion
d) strongest contrast
e) HDR cursor, a good table spoon.
f) a pinch of Neat Noise
HDR is High Dynamic Range, a "new" feature added to V5 of Silkypix.
This image, for me, could have been made in the era of film with a
ILFORD XP2 400 Iso, this b&w processed in C41.
Any one used that film? The "negas" were fragile, easily scratched
out :)
Parameters are 1600 ISO, oly glass 22mm, f3.5, from a camera of
5years old, Ayda reclining in front of an Iranian movie looks odd,
the slow speed did not match here eyes moving.
I feel like the "neat noise" is blurring some details, however, this
is an image at high ISO, with less information....
It's a whole new route to explore. It seems that increasing the
dynamic range might work in some type of scenes, hmmmm?
Salt, pepper, comments are welcome
