[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

Well Rob, if that is the new town, I wonder what the old town looks like. A nice serie though.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I'll do the old town for you soon, Ivar.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Darn you Rob. I had fantasies of a next particular camera not being a Sigma. It seems the Quattro zero cannot be passed by after seeing these. Some of the best B+W rendered images I have seen from this camera anywhere. I like them all with the second and fourth being particularly good.
Are these tampered with much, or straight from the camera? Also wondering what ISO?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Julian. ISO 100, blue in-camera filter, and a circular polariser on the lens. I got three Hoya filters recently, so have been testing them out. I can't recall doing much, if anything, to these, unlike the daff shots, where I would pull the X3 Fill to the left. I added grain in LR6.

 

[John Allen]

They are all great, especially that second one - Steps.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

I'll do the old town for you soon, Ivar.

In splendour?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, I don't know about that. One can but try.

 

[Ivar Dahl-Larsen]

" I see," that certain achievements are hard for someone, but when they succeed, it is very good.

 

[Pete Askew]

Another cracking set, Rob. I like them all but the arches is superb I think.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ta.

 

[Douglas McMann]

Another great city set Rob...

Do you shoot Raw or jpeg and, if the former, do you need the in-camera filter...?...can't you add it in PP...?

Confused of North East.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Don't be confused, Dougie. It's all about composition. Yes, I only shoot raw. And yes, I could change all sorts of things in PP. But at the time of shooting, I want to get everything as close to where I want it to be, in-camera. That's where the interpretation of the scene first takes place, so I want to manipulate the camera to see what I see there and then, not hours or days later in the comfort of my home. Does that make sense? I do very little in pp these days.

Thanks Rob...so you basically download and convert to JPEG from camera, got you now. I 'm not sure if I'm brave enough that attempt that yet...almost like returning to the days of handing in a spool to Boots and hoping for the best...!
