The return of monochrome….
A number of occurrences have re-ignited my love for monochrome imaging! First Fujjfilm added Black and White to their early X-System cameras. I really enjoyed the film simulation with the red filter which gave a higher contrast image. The next thing that happened was my personal discovery of how much you could be done with NIK Siler Efex Pro2. For a while I was very pleased with the results I was getting!
Enter the new X PRO2 and XT-2 with Acros Monochrome film simulations! With the two new Pro models, the Acros with a red filter is my new favorite but it gets even better. MacPhun has released Tonality which is a new monochrome conversion software which is incredible. I’m enjoying more control over the look I desire now than ever before!
I would encourage you to work more in monochrome, I’m having a blast!!!!
Blessings,
the Pilgriim

What was old is now new 🙂
Been shooting digital since the Canon D30 became the first “affordable” DSLR. 15 years now. But still I miss the thrill of slipping the Ilfospeed into the Dektol or ID11 and seeing an image come to life under the safelight. Kind of like the difference of hearing music coming out of your digital audio system and the sound of the radio in an old Rambler on a warm Saturday parked somewhere secluded with your girlfriend at your side….but I digress.
All the macphun are terrific. Tonality is so great. Having great Fuji files is a big help
Another reason why I am waiting patiently for my X-T2’s to arrive. Thanks Bill for giving us a peak into the future greatness of the X-T2.
Look a little mean in that selfie (2nd from top), eh Bill? Hope you are well.
