Jose - thank you. nice to see you back.
James - thank you. They're all different presets. The last one has a bit of fade.
Peter - love those sky shots - both of them, but especially the night one. the car shots with the 180 are very dramatic.
George - I do love a bit of bike porn. You guys have much fancier bikes than I. Handmade german tyres? really? does the Df allow you to set the Neopan preset in camera?
Steve - I assume you're just switching bottles between the shots or are you drinking all those whiskeys - if you're drinking them, then congrats sir, I'm amazed you could keep focus by the last pic.

Don't let the hype of the Made in Germany label fool you They are just standard albeit very good tires. Nothing fancy.
Re: the Neopan profile. You can make custom profiles and upload them to the Df and I am sure other Nikon cameras. Although I do not use Nikon software and haven't for many years, there are free tools from them to do it.
However, I use an online tool (not Nikon sponsored as far as I know). Very handy and I have enjoyed tinkering with it.
It is worth noting that Google has made Nik software available at no cost... that includes Silver Efex Pro 2 that offers an extensive array of options for mimicking different black and white film types. You can access SEP either through Lightroom or through Photoshop. Yes, you can do a great many things within either Adobe product, but SEP makes the process amazingly simple to accomplish... They appear to be discontinuing support for the software but it seems to work on my iMac just fine, though I'm still running El Capitan. It is available for Microsoft Windows as well. Here is a link for anyone interested who doesn't already have a copy.
I absolutely love SEP and hate to see that they decided to stop development and support. There is another black and white editor that I use as well. Black&White Projects 4. They put it on sale from time to time and I got it for $35US early in the year.
Edit: Looks like Project 5 is the latest version... Have not tried that one yet. http://www.projects-software.com/black-white
What I am liking now is playing with the Custom Picture Control profiles in camera. The last 3 images I posted were resized jpg. No processing outside of the camera. I am trying to hone my skills and do as much as I can in camera. But still shooting RAW + JPG so I will always have the RAW file to fall back on.
