Landscapes in B&W

[Iansky]

Took the X100s for a quick run out today and wanted to capture a couple of B&W images.

The first one is a favourite subject for me as I love the dominant trees, church in the background and sheep, the second is a wood in the distant that I shot using the soft focus filter built into the camera - both images converted to B&W using Silver Efex Pro.

Nice images there Ian.

Thanks Dennis,

I am impressed with the soft filter as it provides nice detail in a diffused manner so will probably be great for portraits.

Ian, really like the soft focus image.

Thanks,

I do want to try it for people but not had chance yet - work comes first!!

These are really nice! I've been playing with more b/w and duotone b/w lately myself. Like these a lot.

John, you really should. The Fuji X – trans sensor cameras are amazing for black-and-white conversions. I've been using Nik Silver Efex Pro2 for my conversions and getting beautiful results.

I enjoy looking at landscapes and long exposures, though I'm not personally inclined to actually go out and shoot it, however I got really got inspired by the works of Michael Kenna, I could sit for hours on end looking at his photos and because of this I ended up buying some filters and a cable release to do some long exposures. Instead of just trying to emulate his images, I've decided to adapt the way he shoots and apply a specific look that I like.


I have been experimenting and trying out new things and I got a long way to go.

A trial shot during the weekend




I think I'm starting to really get into this
