Hi,
I've been a follower of Black and White photography for many years, but never been very good at it, generally because I didn't have a darkroom and was using film
I've followed this forum for several weeks, and there are some very good B&W capable photographers on here and I'd like to ask you to provide feedback (Positive or Negative) to images I post here.
I'm interested in what you think could make the image better (not the content or composition, that's another problem to be fixed :-) ), but more the conversion itself.
I'll add this header to each image I submit.
Please feel free to provide constructive critiscism.
Thanks in Advance
Phil
Here's the third image...
It was converted using Lightroom (Develop module-->Black & White), I then opened in CS5 and added a levels layer to pull in the high lights a bit. I then added a Curves layer to boost the contrast, flattened and added a high pass filter. Finally back in Lightroom I added a post crop vignette to slightly darken the corners.
