Medium-Format Film Work From NY

[djh]

I'm certainly not claiming this, but the link landed in my Inbox during the week and I was very, very impressed with this guy's photography. It is almost enough to make me want to visit NY again.....

Very awesome shots!

Love the look he's getting. Funny enough he's using the same camera, lens, film and developer (well, one of many B+W film and dev combos) and I'm surprised how metallic looking the buildings end up looking.

Those are some great pics! I would love to have a try with his gear.

That orange filter he mentions does awesome high contrast on B&W. I found one that fit one at a thrift store not too long ago and played with it with some Neopan 400.

And using it to shoot monochrome on the D600...

That orange filter he mentions does awesome high contrast on B&W.

He's also pushing two stops in the developer, so he's driving to pretty high contrast. That's going to push the highlights into the flat part of the curve, which would give he surface details - the part with the direct sunlight - a compressed look while the rest of the image is spread over the linear portion.

That's the source of the "metallic" look.
