The work of Peter Bialobrzeski? Is he shooting digital now?

[wallpaperviking]

Hi,
     I have always admired the work of Peter Bialobrzeski

https://www.bialobrzeski.net/

and recently saw some photos of him shooting in India with a digital camera. 

He has traditionally used a Linhof and am just wondering if people can see the "noise" in some of his later night shots and whether that is generally a digital trait or not?

If you look at the first image under the title "No Buddha in Suburbia", that is the noise I am talking about.  I do not remember seeing that on some of my own large format film shots, so am wondering if it is digital.

I did try and upload some attachments but the site would not let me.

What do you think?

Why? There are millions of attachments uploaded to this site.

No idea...  It comes up with this message...

" 413 Request Entity Too Large "

They are all just screenshots taken from a website, so they should not be large at all.

I can't see any particular noise at all in that portfolio.

Certainly has a 'digital' look, rather than film.

"Should" and "is" is always the problem 

Example: this screenshot of one of the images from his site has 6.8 MB, while this site tolerates up to 5.1 MB.

Solution: convert the screenshot (png file) to a jpeg file.

Thanks for the replies, much appreciated! 

Am using my girlfriends computer, so I did not have access to Photoshop to look at the file sizes.  Good to know for the future.

No need for Photoshop to check file size. Right-click on the file and select “file info” or similar wording. You also wouldn’t need Photoshop to reduce file size or convert it from png to jpeg, OS can do that these days.

As you've supplied a direct web link there's no need to post screenshots. Most here would agree that re-posting other people's copyright work, even via screenshots, isn't a good thing to do.

Most!?

Hardly. It would be a case of fair use, for (technical) discussion purposes.

Good One!  Thanks for the tip!
