[Leica] New Forest Pony Sales

[Gerry Walden]

Ted,

Praise from you is always an honour, and you kind Sir have truly honoured me. I really appreciate your comments, I truly felt that b&w was the only way to go on this and shooting film gave it a personal impetus that I don’t think I would have had in digital. It is a gritty subject and it needed a gritty rendition IMHO.

Kindest regards and thanks,

Gerry

They were all taken on a Leica M7 using the 35mm Summarit-M f2.5 using Fuji Neopan 400CN film (C-41 process) and then processed through Lightroom using the ‘B & W Look 2’ preset because I liked the gritty look of the images. I appreciate one of the images is soft, but I liked it. Please look at the whole gallery:
