I love the 58mm F1.4 NOKTON, this 90mm apo-lanthar may just be the right lens to add.
Left is the "regular" image. Right is the same image (very roughly, may need some finetuning) edited with my "Hi-Pass tinted" Preset in Bibble 5. Personally I like the latter (right) one.
Which one would you use?
edit: well, guess the decision is made. The client (and model) has opted for the right one. No more doubts. Let's get working on the book.
Can there be a bigger contrast?
A few photos I found in my archives. From weddings I shot a few years ago.
Not doing any weddings anymore, I just can't be bothered. Check out luclodder.net if you want a great wedding photographer.
Finally I am done editing these images. The idea behind the photos are to replicate those vintage spanish flamenco scenes that you can find in many tourist stores.
The plugins from Sean Puckett are legendary in the Bibble scene. My personal favorite has always been Andy PRO. This was a very extensive film plugin that accurately simulated a lot of the better known, and not so well-known black&white and color films.
Now, finally, shortly after the release of Bibble 5 Pro, the successor of Andy Pro is here. With a new name, and rewritten from the ground up: Andrea. The plugin is available to try for free, with a limited choice of films. The full version unlocks the full list.
What is new in Andrea apart from that it is B5 compatible is that it will also implement colour film simulation with more films to choose from. Now, only the slide films are available, but soon you can expect more choices including negative films.
Some samples (before/after) below:
Original version:
With Andrea, using ADOX KB50 film in D76 developer 4min at 68F printed on Fomaspeed paper grade 3:
I love the flexibility this plugin offers, without losing the ease of use.
Another sample, original version:
With Andrea, using Kodak HS infrared film in D19 printed on Agfa Bromira-speed paper grade 0:
Original:
Andrea, Kodak Tech Pan 25 in Technidol 11min on Agfa Record-Rapid paper grade 2:
And finally, a color slide film sample, original:
Kodak Kodachrome 40:
If you like the plugin, please support Sean by purchasing the full version!
PS: the plugin does not add vignetting, that is done in Bibble 5 itself (but I like it, so I add it ;-))
Processing some images on my new machine, using the latest Bibble 5 Pro PV3.2 software.This image is done using bleach bypass preset and some added vignetting. Outtake from a short shoot last week.
