la traversee de Paris ~ April 2022

            After processing these images in color and using strong tints, I thought I would convert some of the originals into black and white.  These are all Human Perception Model conversions.  That is, the colors convert into the tonal intensities that human eyes would judge them as (and _not_ a simple de-saturation).

I did this just to see how the monochrome conversion might look using an old Nikon Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f/1.4 lens.  I like the "glow" of the light areas when the lens is shot wide open.  It's almost like a Nikkor "soft focus", in a way.  Stopped down to f/2 and the magic disappears.

The one thing I should try next is to convert the original RAW color files using an Orthographic Film simulation that I created.  What I'm seeing with some subjects is that the Ortho conversion can create a very "luminous" effect when used with this Nikon Nikkor-S Auto 50mm f/1.4.  It could be interesting to see what it does with automobiles, too.
