Thanks Kozz. They were taken on the Canon DSLR this time.
I think I am getting closer to a specific style of black and white photograph; one that I would like to imagine in a book or magazine, one day.
River is my dog and he will not be around much longer, so I wanted to find a way to use his name and maybe his image in a logo.
I can't imagine why they won't be in a book or magazine, you got an eye for composition and detail. I am sorry to hear about your dog, its a nobel way to make him immortal so to speak. As I've been lying down for quite some time now, I started watching the Dogwhisper (yeah I couldn't imagine myselve), but after surgery I'll get myself a dog too!
No Mike, they are single RAW exposures that I convert to b/w in Silver Efex Pro which has a great zonal system for adjusting the image and adding some b/w film types amongst many other things, but no HDR. It has a setting called "structure" which pops the detail and looks like a mild HDR effect. A bit like a higher contrast photographic paper.
IMO a great videomaker or director need some good skills for shooting fotos. It's the base. S. Kubrick or C. Saura are photographer before being director (and many more for sure).
One of my fav is Henry Cartier-Bresson. Able to catch The moment...
Good luck with the submition to the Royal Photographic Society.

I'm not ignoring your photo posts, Simon...it's just that I'm not educated in the technical side and all the techniques and settings like others are on the Forum.
I can only say they look really professional, like a glossy magazine.
