This is a bit of an experiment - I’m not sure how Flickr will cope with this image. It’s a monochrome image - literally just black and white pixels, that I dithered using some code I wrote a while back, which you can find here if you’re interested in that sort of thing.
The dithering is done using the Atkinson algorithm, which is what the original Macintosh used. But here it’s being used on an image that has way higher resolution than the original Mac could have handled, and so when resampled by my browser to something viewable all the classic artifacts had gone, and I really liked the tones. But whether this will work for you or not will depend on how Flickr processes the image and how your browser renders it - so your mileage will vary considerably I imagine.
This is sort of my generation’s film retro I guess. A friend of mine was recently encouraging me to lean into that spot of mixing my creative with my digital side in the context of guitar building, but I thought that advice might be interesting to apply here too.
Originally shot on my X100F, but the exif info is now long gone :)
Update: As I feared, Flickr has somewhat broken the effect with the conversion to JPEG, and the image is no longer purely black and white. Still, and interesting experiment. The original can be found here.
