However, he said evily, Links typically lit up half a town to the point that it looked like daylight. So, back up a bit, buy about 10 more CT4's, and light up the whole place. Actually, I am a bit impressed by what you have done. Keep up the train shots.

Links Lighting In between playing e-mail tennis about Canada and feeding the cat, I've been playing with my new toys and have tried to recreate the kind of lighting and contrast that made O.W Links work so fascinating. Shot with an R5, f4/21mm and a Metz 45 CT4 at full blast, transformed from Kodak Elite 100 to BW. Contrast pushed, to the edge of burning out the whites, in Photoshop Elements 2.0 I'm still not sure if it worked, maybe I'll get it right tomorrow. http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image23_low http://gallery.leica-users.org/New-Old-Pictures/Image1_low Comments are very welcome, as arePhotoshop tips on how-to-do. regards Douglas _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
