Unfortunately, the relatively heavy colornoisereduction in the Sony jpgs makes a bw conversion nearly impossible. I suppose another good argument for raw capture. For this lowres snap with a failed crop to boot, i probably can get away with it.
"Failed crop?" You ask...
Well, can't cut it in 2:1 or 1:1
Another failure is that the juxtaposition between old and new isn't as pronounced as it could be, but i probably have another chance or two since it "ain't going nowhere" me thinks.
"Just like your photography!" Yeah, i hear you thinking...
