Nikon monochrome
« on: April 18, 2016, 16:40:44 »
Now I can just use the nikon monochrome picture mode that I like and get the jpg with the same output running the files through "Capture nx-d". Just resized for the web with that same program. It is very slow...and I haven´t tried any adjustment.

It is a very interesting shot that raises a lot of questions to start with!

Thanks Frank. The shot is from yesterday´s rehearsal of a new show. I was doing mainly video -with very little success by the way- but some images where interesting enough to share here. I need to learn some video editing skill but I´m just so not in the mood...

Very nice perspective. As the photo was loading slowly on my computer, when the top half was loaded it looked very interesting. Nice to know about Nikon's monochrome abilities. Thanks for sharing Paco.

Paco, you captured the fascinating moment.  The in-camera B&W looks pretty nice.

Thank you Akira. I do like the b&w from the camera too.

   The flying cloth -"mantón" in spanish- is an amazing piece dated form early 20th century, hand made and in very good condition. She can move it too

I don't know why, but I am drawn into the suitcase  :-[
Once I manage to exclude it from the photo I see the lovely action of the dancer.
As far as the BW conversion from the camera goes, is it my screen or do I see a slight bluish hue?
Edit, I think it's my monitor :)

Well, it is right there in the middle, big, duplicated by reflection and many lines lead to it...In color you will find it is red on top of everything else. Thanks to the movement-eye-catching effect it is not so obvious -I hope-, but it is definitely there. 


  As always, thanks for the comments.
