Took my time

I decided to try some filters on my camera for the NF-SOOC challenge. This was taken using a blue filter. I also made sure to focus manually with my cheaters in place and on the nose.

Here's some additional info on filters ( https://www.exposureguide.com/lens-filters/ )

A late tag update: week 38 for the weekly challenge of Bokeh

Great tonal range! Not flat at all!

Lovely bw

[haskar]

Nice b&w capture.

[Jean]

Nice sharp subject. Nice b&w

[LManning (Laura)]

Lovely and crisp. Great result!

[Peter Dulis]

Nice

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Filters do some really nice things to the tonal quality of black and white. I like the green and red filters too. Nice shot!

[Jane Pittenger]

Not sure what your cheaters are but the in camera processing is fabulous

[Walks @ 7]

@jgpittenger cheaters are reading glasses and I remember using filters with film a great deal and actually still have most of them.

@olivetreeann I am using the square glass filters for this camera, I don't have any 58mm screw-on ones. I like being 'forced' to take my time this month, it makes me think before I press the shutter.

@pdulis @ljmanning @jernst1779 @haskar @marlboromaam @ziggy77

Truly grateful for all of your supportive comments, thank you so much. Learning to 'see' in B&W again is good for me and brings back lots of memories of film classes.

[Yao RL]

wow, sounds like you are using physical filter, rather than digital.

[Rob Z]

I love the depth to your end result!

[Nina Ganci]

ok, I have no idea what you wrote there, as the only thing I understood was SOOC. Does not matter. I like this capture. The textures and composition are brilliant

Cool use of the blue filter gives this a certain edge

@yaorenliu @robz @ninaganci @catcarter19 Thank you so much, sorry for the late response. I am learning (again) to use my filter system, it uses a adapter ring and holder on the lens and then I choose the filter slide of color that I want. It isn't a screw on filter type.
