In a lovely wee glen near Herriot.The road here goes uphill for almost 2 miles to a 1400ft highpoint.A real workout for me as this run is a 48 mile round trip passing Crighton [hi fionaB ] and Borthwick castles and some nice scenery.Taken on Fuji Sensia100 using my wee charity shop Olympus XA3 camera,scanned and converted to mono.It's a lot smoother as the full 20Mb file

Here is the original colour version

Very nice images but for me the mono has more punch to it.

I much prefer the mono too, it really has impact. It's a shame about the shadowing at the bottom of the picture though which loses the bottom of the bike wheel. Other than that it is super!

What has caused that strong vignette at the bottom, looks like a lens hood has been misplaced or something. I find it very distracting I must admit.

I am certainly with the others on which works best, the mono has greater strength and character than the colour version, partly because it is rather flat (despite the hills! )

Cheers,
Rob

agree with the others the mono has it for me as well.......Maybe venture out that way at some point the view certainly looks worth it!
we planning to go back to crichton in a month or so cos it doesnt actually open until end of march!

the 'shadow' must be either fogging when I swapped the film from my SLR into the compact,or deterioration through the film being a few years old and stored in a too warm place!!!.quite a number of frames were like this or totally fogged .
