A 'Grand' Idea (C&C)

07-07-2006 1:54pm#1Here are some shots I took this morning inside a grand piano! Well the shots are inside, I was not.. anyway... just thought would share em
No Strings Attached
Change in Lighting
Reflection. This is actually a reflection of the strings taken on the lid of the piano, well polished it seems. Not the steadiest or sharpest shot, but just thought you might find it interesting anyway.
Anyhoo, more on Flickr. Thanks for viewing.0

A photo is a photo.
That's like saying "People darkroom too much nowadays"
Burning - Overexposing the image onto the developing paper. usually done by leaving the timer on for an extra few seconds, while using a piece of shaped card or your hands to cover what you don't want blackened out. Literally burning the darkened colour onto the paper.
Dodging - Underexposing some of the image onto the developing paper, can be done in a few different ways, pretty much just by covering the area of the image after the desired amount of time. Pretty much, dodging the light from the paper.
And if you think people photoshop too much nowadays...check out groups such as F.64 and all...each member spent weeks in a darkroom on a single photo, dodging, burning, bleaching, increasing/decreasing contrast...
There ain't nothing wrong with using photoshop!0 -

I process my own film shots but would never try in the lab what I would try in photoshop, the safety of being able to make a mistake and all! But i know I should try, tis all about the learning afterall
Tried converting a few and was just not happy with the results. Tried few conversion techniques as well, light channels, colour mixer as well as the usuals. Maybe I'll have another go...0 -

Really like the second shot, agree with Fajita's that I'd like to see a the shot with some more PP in PS
Im glad you find it so funny.
Im not alone in my love for raw B&W shots and being happy with the results I get from a specific lab.
In fact youll find most people who shoot B&W, inc Pro shooters now process in a decent lab.0 -

Do you find they get very flat, with the photos being grey and black instead of black and white?0 -

Then ya dont know many pro shooters
Not seemig like an AHole but I actually do know a lot of pro shooters and yes most do process in a pro lab. Some still do their own. But most have found a lab they trust and work with them0 -
Lol, I do know many Pro Shooters...
And at the end of the day, why would you let someone else decide what happens to your print? Or worse still, not decide at all, to let it come out as a standard print.
Trust me, if you get the chance, learn how to print B&W... It'll completly change how you see your prints from the lab.0 -

Ah but Pro B&W shoothers
Chris Weeks for example. He currently owns the largest collection on pro B&W shots in the entertainment industury. Swears by his lab. Ans he is one helluva shooter.
Oh Id love to learn to print, havent had the chance yet.0 -
Depends on the shot. Have had lots of very successful conversions to date but not with these. With these shots have tried contrast/brightness, then curves (calibrated after mono on channel mixer). Ill upload on i did, prob easiest 0

Do!
I can give a go too, if you'd like.
Master...You should give printing a go...And then come back and say you prefer your lab shots.
I hate getting my prints done in a lab, unfortunatly, it's the only way to go in the summer months when I don't have a darkroom!0 -
Ok seems I stoopidly didnt save the ones I was playing with earlier so just hacked this one together now. In this case used the channel mixer, brightness/contrast then some slight shadow/highlight adjustment. To me its just to flat, its 'ok' but now as strong as I would like my bw's to be.0 -
Right, I plan to be asleep in the next few minutes, so I'll go into more detail tomorrow (Have to be up for work in 5 hours...
) but, go back into channel mixer, remember to play about with the red setting. Then go into your curves, and play around with a very loose S shape, you'll get the idea very soon
From there, there'll still be a few areas you want more highlights in. Select your dodge tool, put it to 10% tops, and select highlights, and run it over the areas you want highlighted. Similar with dodging, except select shadows.
It takes some getting used to alright. Remember to do all this this on separate layers, so you can use your blending options to play about a bit more!
The dodge/burn will strengthen lines and you can really make people look where you want them to look with it!0 -
