M8 street shots in London

[neilambrose]

<p>I've only had my M8 for a few days so I'm still getting to grips with it. These were shot over the last

couple of days. Overall I'm pleased with the camera. With the right kind of post-processing it still looks

like Tri-X.</p>

nice work. could you share your post processing technique used in these shots. were they

shot at 640 iso and above, dng or jpeg. or was the grain added in PP. thanks

<p>#1 was shot at ISO 1250 since it was handheld at night. All the others at 160 through

640. Don't take any notice of the grain; that's part of the post-processing and is absent in

the DNG files - it's barely visible even in the 1250 DNG file. Strangely, I go to a lot of

trouble to add grain back in since I've got a large back catalog of tri-x work, and want the

M8 stuff to have the same feel. Post-processing is done from the DNG file, which I prefer

over what the camera produces in b+w jpg.</p>

 

<p>No one else got any M8 street work? Doesn't have to be from London - any city will

do...</p>

thanks for the response Neil. how did you add the noise and did you use any B&W plugins to

achieve the high contrast look
