Sometimes I think the GRDIV is a bleach bypass camera

Sometimes I think the camera is made for Mr Spode, and a few others.

Gotta say my friend...these look very special....

 

[Spode]

Thank you Don. You are too kind.

Thank you Don. You are too kind.

I know but your a good guy.

So with those scene modes, is there anyway to also get a raw file?

I don't think so...JPEGs rule OK?

Don't know about scene modes... never used them.

If you are asking about bleach bypass, it's just like using hi contrast b&w. Don't see why you can't shoot in RAW. But will confirm anyway.

I think I played with all that stuff when I first got the camera.
Ohhhhh, ahhhhhh now it's set up and I just work with it.

For me, I'd like to do the bleach bypass and see how it converts to B&W.
I'm not the biggest fan of color but I appreciate what your doing with it.

Its a nice change and works for these images.
I wonder do some people see the world this way.

Nice set! I think the BB is really working in this shots...

 

[Gab]

Spode, they are very nice. Agree with albert that the BB is excellent here!

 

[Spode]

Thanks all.

BTW, Richard, not sure which part of Scotland you are in, but if you're anywhere near Edinburgh or some other mediaeval town, Bleach Bypass (to my mind) is the ideal medium - cobbled streets, textured walls, wet stone, pavements with puddles, darkness (read incandescent light), et al.

You should try it out sometime. Hi Contrast B&W would also work in this situation.

I love the different tones and colour modes that the GRD4 gives you.

The only down side is that I would like to be able to have a RAW file to go with it, and have the cross processing done to the JPEG's by the camera.

I'm a bit north of Inverness - plenty of castles and the odd old building in town centres but nothing quite as extensive at Edinburgh. I take your point though about BB but wet stone, puddles....are you implying that it's wet in Scotland?? Actually as I look out of my study window at the moment it is snowing heavily....interested in opnions about what works best in snow....I've always preferred colour.

The BB tones fit the scenes perfectly. Too bad that scene mode out of camera is jpg only but easily able to replicate with Nik Color Efex Pro 4.

 

[Spode]

Thanks Folks.

I'm still a rank amateur when it comes to RAW. I recently purchased LR4 and have begun to play around with it a bit.

Should posty some PP'd shots soon.

And Richard, I'm not implying it's wet in Scotland, but the effect of water/ puddles on cobbestones, etc. is something esle. Other than BB on snow (my humble opinion) try high contrast B&W at night, under streetlights.

Don't worry, I was only kidding about the wet....street lights...what are those? Picture of our street taken today.
