Monochrome

[Slim]

In the old days, if you wanted to make clouds "pop" in a high contrast sky with monochrome film, you could apply a red filter to the front of your lens. These days you can take a colour image and apply a red filter using an image editor.

Pentax (and some other manufacturers) make cameras with mono sensors, and they take amazing photos apparently. But you wouldn't be able to get effects like this by applying digital filters to the colour ranges in the image (obviously). You'd have to use a physical filter.

This was taken with a K-S1 and an old manual focus 28mm lens.

I really like those dramatic effects, not much of a photographer myself even though it is a familiy trade for us (2 uncles and a grandfather being photographers). Growing up I did not realise not everyone had their pictures taken regularly, I have sheoboxes full off photo sessions of myself, ful colour sessions from the early 70s even.

Anyway, digressing.

I buy a camera every other couple of years, end up selling it and the buying a new one. And even then I use my phone mostly.. My wife is the real photographer out of the two of us, she has 'the eye'.

Good positioning on this one here, lovely 1/3-2/3 cut.

Quite pleased with this one. This time, only because it happened to be on the camera when I noticed the clouds, a Tokina 28-70 zoom that I bought to take to New York in 1987.
