I compare myself to Ansel Adams all the time!

—He had a beard and I have a soul patch
—He favored brimmed hats and I occasionally wear a baseball cap
—He was shorter than I am. Or taller, I forget
—He placed his stamp forever on the art of photography, and I taught my dog to count
—I root for the Minnesota Twins and he rooted for the Seattle Mariners
—I am married to my wife and he wasn’t
—He is no longer with us and so far I’m immortal
—We are/were both right-handed

... and there's one in every crowd! Thanks for the morning chuckle...

Come snow and -20°C, the Collared Doves seem committed to staying through the winter.

I am in no way comparing myself to Ansel Adams, but I understand why he spent years remaking the same prints over and over again with different editing. I've spent more time on this "simple film" image than almost any digital image.

What did your want to accomplish ?

Another older RAF. B&W converted in On1, the only editor I have that knows what to do with RAFs!

I saw On1, and thought - this ain't HO scale! 🤣

Well I got there in the end; today's image is the one everyone was discussing yesterday without having seen it...you had made a comment that you prefer minimal bw images and not busy ones. I frankly prefered the image I posted yesterday (town street image) which *is* busier because it had more areas for tonal range.

The image I posted today (train station image) fell much flatter in bw film than I anticipated as I stood there seeing it IRL in color. I worked hard to bring contrast to areas that were blocked in the negative and to bring more of a tonal range that wasn't initially evident, like the sky and pavement being the same tone. The actual building has good and interesting light on it, but without the blue sky, white building, and green shrubs to give visual variation, the tones all looked too similar without a lot of editing.

Both taken last Thursday evening at the VERRAZZANO NARROWS BRIDGE on the Brooklyn side. Taken with my 14 pro. Hope you enjoy!

You posted the images just for me - that's so nice

Appears that you did a lot of work.

No, i just use my eyeballs. 🙂 I didn't use them in tandem very often that it really mattered, so I just fussed with them in post.

It always matters 😉

What is: Vase on metal plate

 

[Clix Pix]

Thanks! Actually, it's a glass paperweight sort of thing, positioned on a small magnifying mirror, shot by a window in natural light. As I was shooting it I already was thinking in terms of converting it to B&W, which I did, using Nik Collection's Silver Efex Pro.
