Old Workhorse (Lathe)

Well, for an amateur like me this is still a good black and white. I would need an example to see the difference ;-)

Problem is, that the tonal values of the color information are gone.

schöne alte konventionelle Drehbank, ähnliches Modell ackert bei uns auch noch in der Firma.

Danke Uwe, an so einem Ding hab ich in der Lehre auch mal gestanden.

Thanks

Lots of great detail in this b/w, but don't understand what is growing here.

Workpiece is growing by removing of material H C. Like a sculpture

Da müsste mal einere die Späne entfernen ;-)

Tolles Bild, auch wenn das S/W schon durch die Kamera erzeugt wurde ...

Das erinnere ich mich noch aus der Werkstatt meines Vaters, habe sogar daran noch gearbeitet

Da haben wir wieder etwas gemeinsam :-)

...kommt mir gleich das Gefühl mit dem "Splitter im Daumen" in den Sinn... :-)

... besonders bei Messing :-/

Ein schönes s/w. Mehr kann ich dazu leider nicht sagen !

It turned out beautifully as a B&W shot, Lutz!

Thanks Val

It works very well in B&W.

Thanks you Esther

Amazing bit of kit. My husband will be jealous ! Great BW. I agree with you on the BW outside the camera.

Thanks Jan, also for the confirmation regardein BW :-)

btw, not mine, seen in a workshop nearby

Was´n Maschine... ja was für ne Maschine ist das denn nun?!
Wat kann die denn?!

... ne Drehbank, Katja: Was kann die? Rotationssymmetrische Teile aus Metall :-)

Wonderful b/white. .. :)

Thanks Chris

Klasse gemacht. Die Maschine sieht ja unheimlich kompliziert aus.

Danke cammino, eigentlich nicht. Brauchst kein Maschinenbaustudium.

tolle Details!

hahaha - du könntest auch sagen, dass der "Spanhaufen" wächst! ;-DD

Dida, meine Rettung. Warum bin ich nicht selbst darauf gekommen. Danke ;-))

holy, that pretty nice lathe...

... my words, Wendi

My camera allows me to shoot JPEG and raw at the same time and saves each. When I use the art filters it saves a JPEG and a raw. When I use the B&W feature it saves it in both formats. The B&W setting gives me an idea of the tonal range and I can use the raw for B&W or for anything else I want to do. I agree with others however, I think this came out just fine.

Hmmm, it never entered my mind, that there is an RAW as well if I shoot BW (because I never do it) and RAW is RAW, it must have all information. I always shoot a full resolution RAW and a smaller jpg. I just did a quick test with my 70D. Amazingly Lightroom shows the RAW image also also BW in the library view but once you open development the colors are back. Something learned which should have been obvious. Thanks for your comment!

I was thinking this as well, that there must be an option on Canon D series cameras to keep the original. And there is, an option to keep also the JPEG untouched: www.dummies.com/how-to/content/using-creative-filters-on-a-canon-eos-70d.html

So, either one choose the "creative filter" in advance, before shooting, or use them afterwards to edit the images on camera. In latter way the original (RAW or JPEG) stays unedited, and a copy of that is made for editing on camera.

You are right Sami, it's all there, however, I never use it. And as to BW, why should I. doing that in LR is much more comfortable and flexible. But at least we (I) learned, that the tonal values are not lost and there can always be a RAW to save all information. Hey, thanks again for the heads up.

Yes, I agree, pretty much useless for everyday use, and merely only as things as "good to know" or "useless information" =D

Only situation where I have used these creative filters have been when I have in purpose tried to find what they could be good for, or when I have had nothing better to do (sitting in train or bus, or waiting my turn in the queue) =)

I can only agree, Sami. I just found out this morning by playing around. Let's call it "FUI" for f.... useless information ;-))

And a growing pile of shavings.

Yes, now it's fully legal ;-))

Phenomenal capture!

What a great idea, Lutz. My husband has a lathe too, but not a cool, old one like this. This is beautiful and they really do grow lots of chips lol

Da hast du ein tolles Teil gefunden! Wenn man das Foto so sieht, fällt einem das nicht auf, dass Details fehlen... Ich mache in letzter Zeit nicht mal mehr RAW+jpg, sondern nur noch RAW. Ich habe die jpgs eigentlich immer gleich gelöscht und dann kann ich den Speicherplatz auch sparen,-)

Danke Gudrun, ich mach schon seit einer Weile nur noch ein kleines jpg, aber eigentlich hast du Recht, das kann man sich eigentlich auch schenken

lovely mechanical study, perfect subject for mono too; I used to love doing metal lathe work, I'm often tempted to buy one just to play with . . .

I agree with Valfal it 'turned' out great :)

Thanks Stoker, I agree, it can be fun, if you don't have to make a living on it ;-))

Still gets decent lights and darks and the photo is terrific. So is the idea.

Thanks Coco

Beautiful details.
Congrats on Explore.

Thanks Jaap

I almost never make a b/w straight from the camera, I decide on the computer if it works better in b/w or color, what fits the idea the best. B/W often simplifies the idea, makes it more clear. Anyhow for me. But you got a very nice b/w, I like those old machines.

Thanks Wierd, so we agree on this one. It has actually never entered my mind to do BW inside the cam, dame as RAW development. What's the benefit?

Greets Lutz

Totally agree, B&W off camera is the best, plus you have a bonus colour version :-)

...exactly Gillian, see my answer to Wierd above, Greets Lutz

Wonderful photo Lutz! Love it!

Thanks for your visit and comment Norm, Greets Lutz

Para mi B&W quiere decir Babckok Wilcox C.A. Gran imagen. Mi mas cordial saludo. Eduardo.

Danke sehr Eduardo, freut mich. Grüße Lutz

Ein schönes altes Stück diese Drehbank ! Grüße MAIK

Und funktioniert immer noch ...

VG Lutz

Sehr schön die Details herausgestellt.

Vielen Dank Heinz

Ich mag alte Industriemaschinen

... ich auch, sie auch immer irgendwie Teil der eigenen Biografie

stark !

Danke!

Cool machinery
