B&W Edinburgh - Olympus Trip

[Rob MacKillop]

I really didn't like the colour of the Fujifilm Superia 200, so Niked them into b&w.

I've made no attempt to straighten horizons or verticals. Red or orange filter from Nik Silver.

No comments? Boo Hoo!

Rob, wonderful tones, and I am looking for a rental in the buildings beautifully framed in the first photograph.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Not for rent, just purchase - and at a premium price, I'm afraid. We dream of living there. I have one student who does...

The tones are indeed nice. I keep forgetting this is a sub £10 camera. Unbelievable. Anybody want to by a Fuji X-E1?

 

[Kev Pugh]

Seems you and the Trip are getting on well Rob perhaps you should send that X thingy down to me you clearly don't need it any more

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No problem, Kev. Just send me £900 first

No problem, Kev. Just send me £900 first

[Kev Pugh]

Don't care anymore going to get a Trip....[ner] [ner] nee [ner] [ner]

 

[Rob MacKillop]

You should! Most fun camera ever.

 

[Kev Pugh]

Actually Rob I've boxed most of my oldies up, as not using them much, will probably clear the shelves soon as the dust is getting thick. glad you are having fun with it, film really is best you know cheers for the banter

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Nae probs, mate.

 

[Pete Askew]

Somehow these slipped past me before. Those street shots etc just look so hot and summery.

And if I were you, I'd demand real money in future. Just 'cos you've got a mean strumming hand. Paid indeed!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I used to be a mean spin bowler at school, but was at least ten years ago, maybe a lot more...

It was a very hot day indeed. The film was melting...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Damn fine set - worth more that a tenner I'd say!

Love open top especially.

Doing the B&W from color film gives you more flexibility any way - good plan

 

[Rob MacKillop]

That's right, Chris. I'm getting better b&w by using colour film and Nik Silver, than straight b&w film, with or without Nik. More tones to play with.

That open top makes me think of California...right here in Edinburgh.
