Joaqy said at 9:34 a.m. on Dec 3, 2008: Sobra. Parang kailan lang! :D
Ira said at 12:45 p.m. on Dec 3, 2008: Real skill in b/w. Very beautifully and brightly. Perfect compositions.
Pkeener said at 2:28 p.m. on Dec 3, 2008: Hey Joaqs! How come my digital black and whites don't look this good? So many great shades of grey herer. I think you covered the entire zone system. Love allthe textures, and how each one evokes a different sentiment. I like #3 and the second to last, with the rain slick pavement. The rusty barrels, and the last one...is that a negative transfer from your lil Dianna? Nice touch with the Billy Joel. Sweet! MOJO woikin, making lemonade, (when life is giving you lemons), with your archives...
Moabjeeper said at 2:55 p.m. on Dec 3, 2008: Great b/w.
Joaqy said at 5:06 p.m. on Dec 3, 2008: IRA: Many thanks. :)
Joaqy said at 5:15 p.m. on Dec 3, 2008: PAM: I use Lightroom to process these. ANd it does take a lot of tweaking. Yup, the last one is film using Dianna. You know Billy? Haha. I followed your advise. Bring it on!
Pkeener said at 12:55 a.m. on Dec 4, 2008: I know Billy, and had all of his albums!
PS I like James' pic, too. ;)
Charlespop said at 7:44 a.m. on Dec 4, 2008: Photo no. 3 is really good.....of course I like the "James pic " too. One big salamat for you from me !
Eduardo.affonso said at 9:46 a.m. on Dec 4, 2008: Joaquín, I was going to ask you the same Pam did: what do you do to get your b&w so sharp, so bright? Of course I know the light makes the whole difference, but I'm just fascinated by the contrasts and shadows you get. I'll google "lightroom" and check what's it...
By the way, the more I see your work the more I admire it.
Joaqy said at 12:01 p.m. on Dec 4, 2008: EDUARDO: A minor tweak in curves, fill light, black and white points, WB and boosted the contrast. Does it help I shoot raw? As for sharpness, maybe it's the lens. :D
Joaqy said at 12:02 p.m. on Dec 4, 2008: Nicolay is so popular here it seems. :D
Eduardo.affonso said at 1:19 p.m. on Dec 4, 2008: Thanks for the tips. I'm not a good "photoshoper", but I'll try what you suggested. Philippines seem to be so colorful, and it's amazing the way you shoot it in b&w.
Btk76 said at 2:16 a.m. on Dec 5, 2008: great set of b/w ;) well done!
