Pushed B&W

View original postThe pushed-film look: Hi-Contrast B&W with global contrast pulled down and shadows lifted, so blacks go grey and grainy like Tri-X pushed two stops. A Cloudy base shifted hard green feeds the tonal response.

The ISO here is the author's suggested Auto-ISO ceiling - noise at high ISO reads as film grain, so it's part of the look, not just exposure.
From the creator
Ritchie suggests exposure compensation between 0 and +1/3.
Camera compatibility
Created on the GR IV - the same settings work on the GR III and GR IIIx, and the warmth difference between bodies doesn't show in monotone. Grain size/intensity is a GR IV control - on older bodies use the closest single-scale grain level. The custom filter mix is GR IV-only too - pick the closest built-in filter effect.
