Thanks for the comments guys....just for people to know the softtware I use for the B+W conversions is Nik software Silver Efex Pro.It brings out the best in the Zeiss lens.
Taken at the annual 'Dickens Festival' Rochester, Kent on a Camera Club trip-- Fagin is a well-known 'character' in 'Oliver Twist' -- I used my 180mm f4 CFi Sonnar + small Cobra flash on outdated Fuji Provia 100 film-- light was poor,overcast.
This is truly great! The look of anticipation on his face makes me look at the picture and hoping to see the outcome. Like my wife says to me, If the picture keeps me looking its a great picture.
taken as I came out of the Library -- I saw the young man sitting on the bench so I got the Werramatic ready,exposure set and focus about 8 feet away and as I approached I held the camera at waist level and as I pressed the shutter he yawned ! I did a 16x12" RA4 print of this for my Camera Club.
taken at the annual Dickens Festival, Rochester, Kent,England on a camera club trip. I t was overcast light-- I used a weak flash from a Cobra unit. Film was outdated Ilford XP2400 home-processed in C41.Toned in PhotoShop 7 -- only half the negative used as I did not 'fill the frame' !
My lens the 180mm f4 CFi Sonnar was not in the list of lenses for some reason. This is from an outdated Fuji Provia 100 slide film taken on a Camera Club outing.
I like this shot. I like the stand alone guy, the garbage on the floor, the B&W. It all comes together well. I did crop it with my window to eliminate the lady to the right and it seems usable that way as well.
