Demolition In Black And White

[markgozz]

Reinardina thanks so much for going to the trouble of loading this B&W .

First of all I'd like to say that I still love this image , it has so much movement and drama that you can almost hear the demolition and taste the dust in the back of your throat , I love images that can capture the emotion of a scene as this one does so well .

As you said in your other post this B&W conversion doesn't work as well as your colour version but I do think that given a more sympathetic B&W conversion it could be as good if not better , I only wish I had the skills to tell you how to do this but I really don't .

An image to be really proud of .

Thanks for your comment Mark. I can only agree with you, so if anyone reads this and can tell me how to get a better B&W image, please tell me.

The other image, edited by (other) Mark (so confusing!), not only has the dramatic colour, but also an added crispness, that I feel is lacking in this shot.

Maybe I could try sharpening it? Or a more dramatic black and white?

If I find myself with time on my hands, I may have another go at it.

Or, maybe I could convert Mark's shot? I'll have a go at that too, in due time. Problem is, I'd still be using his editing rahter than mine, and its time I learn to stand on my own two feet!
