Chrysler New Yorker - 3 takes
Photo Location: Lewisburg PA 
Posted By: Nesster, 10-14-2010, 03:10 AM

Three takes of a vintage Chrysler in Lewisburg PA.
One is film, Kodak BW400CN, in a Pentax Program Plus with the FA 43/1.9 on it, CVS scan.
Two are digital, K100D with a Tamron Adaptall-2 24/2.5 on it. I cropped the color version to approximate the film shot, and also did a b&w conversion using Virtual Photographer with 'left shift'






Chrysler New Yorker, Adaptall-2 24mm, Digital by Nesster, on Flick

No point really, except it's sometimes fun to see different renditions possible - I wasn't rigorous between shots, and I wasn't attempting to recreate the FOV.

They are all nice, but the first really works so well that it leaves the others in it's dust.

Agreed, 1st shot is the best.

Yes, digital post processing b&w does work very well. I probably could do better with the film shot in the middle - BW400CN I find isn't as good as real b&w, and the scanning step (in this case, CVS) is always the weak link.

I like the first one too.

The b/w is very good.
