[Leica] IMG: Another Monochrome Lighthouse

[John McMaster]

This is guesswork as I was not there and have not seen your DNG file...

It looks like a converted colour shot with no mid-tones. Your -2/3 stop and yellow filter will have similar effects, the underexposure (and lightening in PP) will increase the contrast a little and the yellow filter will increase some contrast further. I know Jay uses this technique but personally I give the 'correct' exposure and do not use coloured filters most of the time, bumping up contrast etc in PP.

OK. Tell me what I'm doing wrong.  I underexposed by 2/3 of a stop, I used a yellow filter.  It must be something I'm doing or not doing in LR.  Can you give any advice.  The tones must be there.  I'm just not getting them out.

TIA
