Graphite Rain

Rain, mist and wet streets. A soft, low-contrast pencil grey that keeps detail in both the sky and the shadows.

Spring Autumn Monochrome Soft Muted Everyday Street Portrait

Plain Monochrome, not Acros, for smoother mid-tones. Good for quiet portraits by a window too. Exposure compensation +1/3. ISO 500 to 6400 (DR400 needs ISO 500+ on 40 MP bodies, 640+ on 26 MP).
