Woody: +1, nice moment captured. Like the tone. :thumbup:Interesting shot. Looks like the parting of the ways.
Don: Beautiful images! :salute: I'm curious. what "touches" did you do in Viveza 2? Which, BTW, is a great program, but, I've never used it on B&W's. Looks like you're experimenting with the tone, also?Haven't been here for awhile and need to go back and view several pages of work so while I do that here's a test I just finished...
Thought I'd do some testing of processing of a couple images to see how they'd turn out. I'm returning to the same area next week and this time I plan to shoot with an eye towards submitting to Arizona Highways magazine. This is close to the same area I shot the old bard and shed and feel it deserves to be shot in black and white. While I know I could switch the M9 to shoot monochrome it would nevertheless be in a Jpeg format and that's something I just can't see myself doing. The two test images were opened first in C1 Pro converted to B&W using a yellow filter then moved over to CS5 where I tweaked the sky in Raw before opening then using some final touches using Viveza 2. I thought I post these for comments.
These were both shot using a M9 and Summicron 50mm

Randy: Great landscape! I've driven through there, but never saw it from this viewpoint. :clap:Astoria, Oregon
M8, Silver Efex Pro
Mike: Nice captures! Great pp! Maybe she's looking at you through that beautiful hair? You have a nice weekend, too. :salute:Had some time off work today so I hit the streets....M8 / Nokton 50mm f1.5.
Still can't believe she never looked in my direction for the first
Have a good weekend everyone.
Mike
C_R: Excellent photo! Composition, color, pp, and DOF are terrific. Very interesting bokeh from that lens. :thumbup:Great shots here
Was waiting for the train, with Nocti 1.0 and M9 (Strasbourg, France)

These are amazing Matt. Among your best.:thumbup:
Totally Agree!:thumbs:
Lloyd/Steve/Osman/Jono: Thank you! (insert 4 big smiles here) I wonder how far she got on her Botticelli?Matt and Carsten: Stunning images, thank you!
Jono: Focusing can be important. Beautiful images! Nice portrait of Emma; and, "Fat Bottom" doesn't sound like where to want to be in a rain storm. I like the tall narrow crop on Isabel. I didn't notice it a first, but, it really suits her pose. Great color! BRTW, what is she doing? You were really at the Quidditch World Cup, weren't you? :thumbup: And, thanks, again.Matt:clap::clap:
Carsten, the pigeon is fab
all others great too ..... you must excuse terse responses, I have a typing problem due to nerve and wrist ....I can still focus though!

Steve, thank you so much for your comments.Awesome set & PP!
Lloyd, thank you very much - I have to thank LR3 for the conversionsThese really are terrific, Mike. I especially like this first one (even though she never looked your way). I must say, I do admire your b/w processing. Great stuff.
Ok, a few more from today. Inspiration is from Matt Stuart and Nick Turpin, if you know their work - street photography with humour, you could say.http://farm5.static.flickr.com

Some very nice shots here Mike. I particularly like this one.Steve, thank you so much for your comments.

Matt, I love the chess game - great use of selective focus.
And something about this....disturbing in a way, but mesmerising at the same time....

I am so loving this experience since I got the M8 I can't begin to tell you. I'm the first to accept I'm not very good (reluctant to get too close, etc etc), but happy to be out there and learning.
All with Nokton 50mm f 1.5, this time in colour:
I hope at least one makes you smile - thanks for looking.
Regards
Mike

This whole series is really fantastic Matt. :thumbup:Boticelli's "The Birth of Venus". She probably won't chalk the whole figure on Westlake Park's paving? I told the artist that the smile she drew was better then Botticelli's: more sensual. Cheers, Matt.
