Thanks spiralout. I was using a Nikon Coolpix P7100. The image quality is very good but you have to dig in to get it. I set one of the function buttons up for just I SO, you can get pretty creative with it.

I needed a tripod as the light was horrible. I left it in the kitchen like a dummy. I brought my flash and off camera cord but didn't have enough arms. I got these shots resting the camera screen on my big belly.

I have several with Pentax K1000 50 1.7 but have not scanned yet but they look good. People there helped me make a rolling tripod out of boxes.

I shot over 2100 pics last month. 162 film. 18 keepers on film. 47 on digital.

From a technical/presentation perspective, I think they're a little blown out and could use a lot more love in the contrast department.

I played with one using curves for a bit and made some adjustments, but it's hard working off a JPEG. If you have a RAW I think you could do better. BTW, my monitors are color calibrated and are around 100% adobe gamut. If you are not at least color calibrated, this is going to present a problem for you.

I was trying to keep the detail in the engine area, your edit loses some of this. I shot this at 1/5s full aperture, hand held. Thanks

As I mentioned, it's difficult with a JPEG. My intent was to show you more of a typical representation of a black and white without the overexposure. Once you have it over-exposed there is very little you can do with a JPEG. If you have a raw, you can pull the whole thing down a bit without loss, and then tweak the image as appropriate to get a better overall exposure.

To be clear... your execution of your expressed intent has damaged the overall quality of your image. Your intent is academic. The result is what matters.

Fair enough. I do have the raw files. I will look at them next week when back from vacation.

FYI, many folks here are happy to take a RAW and give you their interpretation of it. In my experience, examples of other photographer's interpretations of your images work WONDERS in the learning experience.

Oh and... btw... great response. Plenty of folks would have bristled at my feedback. Taking feedback constructively is tops in growing as an artist in any field.

I think it will be a good learning experience.
