I've been asked how I post process my images to extract details from shots with old lenses. So I've finally posted a YouTube video on this subject:

This is an example of the type of post-processing I sometimes do... I drop brightness and exposure way down which compacts the tonal resolution artificially, and then adjust light levels accordingly. This reduction of the number of tones in the image can produce nice drama in scenes with light/dark contrasts. At the extreme, you could have a monotone (pure black and pure white); the image above probably contains about 10 or 15 tones. (Note: In the original post I called this "Low Dynamic Range"; I believe "Low Tonal Resolution" is more accurate.) (Explore)

"Why hello there, Mr. Tennis Ball" was pretty much straight outta the camera (made a slight exposure adjustment)...so thought I'd repost this one after I worked through a couple of processing tuts that make the pup and tennis ball pop just a little more. Maybe it's TOO much.
