[Leica] RV: The sea never ends

[foto at marcdufour.net (Marc Dufour)]

Don't worry, Mark, in 30 years as a graphic designer, and taking some  
photographs, I have been taught something about grey scales.
The fact is when I take photographs, I work with the color; and just  
sometimes, only with light, shadows and high graphic contrast.
Even so, some tasteful friends here, seem to find some color subtleties in 
it.
Maybe you should have a new look on this and other series I upload in  
the LUG. Make an effort, adjust your monitor and your eyes, and look  
for these nuances and subtleties, especially in the grey scale within  
the color range.
Cheers,
Marc

PS:
I never did any B&W print from any picture of mines, no plate in the drain.

They do look like bitmaps to me I think its great to go for the gusto  
and milk all the contrast you can out of a shot in many cases but I do  
mainly think that photography is about subtlety. And you hate to see  
it it go down the drain. The silver that is. As in its not all about  
blacks and whites but the grays which fit in between. Normally in  
darkroom work people start out wanting to use a contrast paper two  
grades up from what would be normal for the neg and after awhile they  
realize the thrills they get from watching such images appear in the  
tray gets overshadowed but the rich range of subtleties the photograph  
processs makes for. Though this is probably digital I think most of it  
does apply. I think if you made two prints one with the jacked up  
ultra contrast and put them next to each other plenty of your nicest  
smartest more tasteful friends would admit to you that clobbering  
power is great but more subtlety gives you and image with more staying  
power. A more mature look. With a much later bedtime.
