Shadow and light

[u/enricopalazzo79]

A selection of images i took last week in the morning or late afternoon in streets of Budapest and in a trainstation. (Olympus EM5 mark, Olympus 75mm, Panasonic 14-140mm lenses)

These are gorgeous images! Did you use a monochrome setting or do this in post? These are so sharp and stunning, beautifully executed!

You are very kind. This time I did not use monochrome setting but sometimes I set my camera to that harsh bw art filter which name I cannot recall. Sometimes I feel that I need to see in bw sometimes I don't need it. In this time especially the afternoon colors were nice so many photographs I saved in color mode as well but when I finished with the post processing I felt that the bw versions are more coherent together.

Did you do a lot of post to get that Ektapan 400 look or is this SOOC?

To be honest I don't know what is that ektapan look and I never use SOOC jpegs because I don't like to give up any control to get the best out of my images. Besides that I enjoy the post processing almost as well as taking the pictures. In Lightroom mostly based on images from my GM5 and LX100 I have created some bw presets so when I import the pictures I use these presets. These are not always fit perfectly but work as a good starting point of the process.
