This is the only path to St. Michael's Church unless you want to trek across the moor. Taken yesterday evening with K1 mkII set to Black and white in camera, and Sigma Super Wide II 24mm f5.6 1/20 sec with a grad filter.




This is St. Petroc's in Lydford, yesterday evening with K1 mkII set to Black and White in camera, and DA* 12-18mm at 18mm ISO 8000, 1/80th at f5.6 handheld.
I preferred it not straightened in PP.

I have another taken with the K1 mkII and Sigma 24mm, converted to B/W in RT, using Soft Light and Tone mapping (which is probably incorrect) resulted in the pic below. I quite like the flare

"If you would like to add some images to this thread it would be helpful. As a starter for ten here's a very ordinary kitchen shot (at iso6400) that I think shows something close to "film grain"...."

Here is a shot on the K1 and 24mm Sigma Super Wide II at ISO 5000, changed to B/W in RT using 'Soft Light', an evening shot BTW and handheld so the focus is not very sharp. A wet and rainy day here, that's my excuse




in colour;

Just had a quick play in RawTherapee using Flan's suggestion of "soft light" in RT. This example was taken on the KP and converted to B/W in RT, not the best but thought I would join in

1. In Soft Light setting;




2. This one with with Tone Mapping enabled, which I thought would show a difference to soft, it sharpened it up a bit;




3. This one again with no Tone Mapping.
