Yeah - that toning encompasses a film emulation - Kodak Tri-X, I think. So there is a grainyness about it as well as the slight tint.
Many Thanks

So this Kodak Tri-X film will add grain to the photo...?
You are very welcome David...

Steven - The emulations of the original films within Silver Efex Pro appear to be very good. I suppose only an expert film stock photographer could give a real verdict, but Tri-X was a fairly high grain film such that you would be able to see areas with the grain. The emulation allows you to vary the hardness and amount of grain, although I use the default values.

I may have to try this film out...wonder what it would look like a red or yellow filter...?
Thanks for the info David...

Steven - I checked and the emulation I used in this particular filter was Kodak Plus X 125 P8 Pro, rather than the Tri-X. I'm not sure that particular film is still available but the Tri-X is ==> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodak_Tr… . As far as grain is concerned, the Tri-X400 would normally be the film of choice. I checked the emulation with red and yellow filters and the red tones down the sky by about 1-2 stops, the yellow by about 0.5 to 1 stop.

saw and handled the M5 at the canon roadshow but it hasn't arrived here yet...... some great textures

Some pros and cons with the M5 - too much noise in low light conditions unless you keep the ISO way down, less than 800. But, OTOH, excellent with EF lenses via the adapter ring - very fast response. Good for wildlife providing it does not move too quickly, with a 9 frame per second continuous shoot! Slightly bigger than I had thought so not really a slip-in-the-pocket camera. Overall, a good companion for the 5D Mark III.

Many thanks for that, Barbara. It was a cold dank day, but so peaceful.

Well, that is a good point, Canan, but substitute Scottish for English and you would be there. The scene is reminiscent of many a Bronte or Austen setting, but this is in South West Scotland, and has changed very little from the times of Burns and S R Crocket, both of whom wrote about this area.
Many Thanks.

Devastation ... it's the first word that came to my mind. I like the soft, almost velvety texture of the image.

(lol) I just write what I perceive / feel, since my knowledge of photographic techniques is not so accurate. Greetings!

I think your command of photographic techniques is more than "accurate", Mayumi, but what is more important is your eye and response to images. You can clearly see and feel what is in an image.

Indeed, cold and dank, but very pleasant to be out in the country with peace and quiet.
Many Thanks, Alice.
