I like the greyscales, especially #3 - it does a great job bringing out
the design of the place, like architectural photos from the mid-20th
century.

If I could have afforded it, I would have chartered an executive jet.

One day you'll be able to hire a drone and your camera of choice and be able to control it from yuor home of phone and direct it to almost anywhere in the world to take photos.


BTW meant to ask if anyone here has ever taken a helocopter trip over the grand canyon as recently one crashed with 6 Brits on board (not that the nationality matters) 3 of who have died in a crash apparently the 2nd for this company.

I'll hire a drone I think


I did that years ago. The pilot pointed the nose down and just as we
crossed over the rim, at the drop off, he played Wagner's The ride of
the Valkyries.

Not so much greyscale as Fujifilm in-camera film simulation. In this case
Acros. I shot using a film simulation bracket of Std(Provia), Classic
Chrome, and Acros.

Here is another photographer’s use of Acros in-camera.

I like that soft look. but, why do it in camera. You have so many more
choices in post.

It is to get the Acros film emulation, and if you are shooting RAW+JPEG you
can still have all the post choices you could want.
