From sRGB .jpg, converted to BW in Post. (I don't typically shoot B/W this way, usually I set the cam to monochrome).
Lens correction applied (PS CS5), slight crop, +1 stop exp. in post, slight contrast amp in post. No on-lens filter (I brought the wrong filter pack, usually I love a CPL for this kind of shot).

Something like my 6th shot or so with the D1x ... I think I like this camera!
Dang It! Even more choice paralysis now.

Thanks for checking this one out, Guys!
Best - Jim

These i-phone sunrise snapshots are from 9 years ago.
I don't really consider the phone to be a legit camera, even though it can be one.
9 years ago, who knows what i-phone this was, maybe a 6?

The quality is terrible but the mood is Mint!

On the way to my shop one morning here in Spring Hope, Aug. 2017.

'been all up in the motorcycles and cars stuff for a bit (2.5 months and counting)
but dang.
Starting to really miss the cameras.

One thing at a time, I guess!

Peace & Love, all!
