I wanted some shots of my Yashica 8-E 8mm film camera that were reminiscent of the era it hails from. I’d seen some photos recently that had a very high contrast black and white look that I wanted to copy. At first I couldn’t figure out how to push Lightroom to do this, but after some experimentation I found a sneaky, round about way to do push the software out of its comfort zone.
