[Leica] IMG: Sunday Shot

[bjq1 at mac.com (Bernard Quinn)]

Geoff,

You've got good eyes! I put a little dash of red in the shadows to  
try to simulate warm tone paper and selenium toner. It's a habit I  
got into. I prefer hard, hard, cold steeley blacks, but I have  
trouble getting them using digital methods. I don't know how Graham  
does it. Kyle's Leica 500CM stories may inspire me to go back to  
film. I think the origin of my red thing goes back to when I was  
using T400CN. I had trouble getting the killer blacks which I like so  
I let the prints go toward sepia so I did not have to fight with it.

Thanks for your kind words.

Barney
