BBQ Buddies
Late Night BBQ Friends.
A quick and covert available light snap of a trio of friends who had not seen each other in years enjoying a chat and late night BBQ.
The image is straight out of camera using manual settings. I normalized it in post for proper levels and added a slight contrast increase. I liked the ethereal contrast of the old incandescent lamps against the rustic lookng backdrop.
The S90 is smaller than many smartphones, and one of my favorite cameras for vintage film look, the Leica-Dlux 5 / Panasonic LX5 being the others that use the same CCD sensor but with a Leica Summicron lens.
Many old-school and a few award-winning B&W photographers use the S90/LX5/D-lux 5 cameras, and I've read the sensor and image processing are a smaller version of what is found in the Leica M-8, which many Leica enthusiasts say was the last digital Leica that was true to film look.
To my eye LX5/D-lUX5/S90 CCD cameras replicate the tonality and grain of old Tri-X or Ilford film more closely than I can typically get more modern professional cameras.

Some more informaton on CCD vs CMOS sensors, and true Monocrome imaging can be found here:
HOLY GRAIL CAMERA! True Monochrome Fujifilm. Where DIGITAL B&W bests FILM
CCD vs CMOS: better color and more film like look (PROOF)
