Up the Lake

Okanagan Lake, B.C. (Camera: Olympus 35RC; Film: Ilford XP2 Super 400)

I saw an on-line “review” of the nifty new Leica black-and-white digital camera last week. The shadow regions were crushed in every one of the accompanying sample images. I thought it was amusing that the same folks who howl with outrage over slightly blown highlights seem to embrace clipped shadows. Personally, I prefer to retain detail at both ends of the luminance range. But clearly that’s a matter of taste.
