Ferrari Testing

[John Thawley]

Forgot to post these. I'll try to post some on-track stuff later.... but it's at Sebring and there's really nothing stand-out given the circumstances. I like shooting this stuff more. These are all with Lecia.

Nice JT, saw those on your blog. DId you use Silver Efx Pro for the B&W conversion?

[Steve Stein]

Sure look different without all the sponsor decals on them. I like the B&W treatment.

No. They were shot in black and white.

I haven't had much experience with digital B&W. Do you find it better to let the camera shoot in B&W or convert them later with software? Thanks!

In the end, I really don't care either way. However, since the Leica has an electronic viewfinder, you can actually "see" in back and white. So you can "think" black and white while you're shooting. You'd be surprised how much that affects you shot choice and how you think and see the light.

I continue to be impressed by how good the in-camera b&w conversion looks from that Leica. I especially like #2 and #3.
