Nice Tom,

I notice many of your shots look like old B&W film, with a little grain, an effect lots of people try to get, but looking at your settings, you have very low ISO, so can I ask what you are doing in PP to achieve it?

Cheers

Ian

Tom, a real 60's feel to this. I do like BW myself. I think it gives a greater feel to a picture somehow. Like I've said before, maybe just an age thing on my part.
Cheers

Hi Ian,

I use Lightroom & a plugin for Lightroom from NIK Software call Silver Effects Pro 2. It is with that Plugin that I can select different Film Vintage types, adjust the noise, brightness, contrast, and adjustment they call structure. This can be done globally or on very selective parts of the photo. It also allows for global adjustments as well as individual adjustments for highlights, mid tones & shadows.

Thanks Treff, glad you like them. I like them as well, reminds me of the days I spent in the dark room.
