Liverpool skyline.

The bright line along the water's edge is the new floating liner jetty; the QE2 had left a few hours earlier.

It ain't what it used to be, that's for sure. Which is good, mostly.

How do you do do your b&w conversions?

Sometimes indifferently.

This one was shot as a hi-qual jpeg and just converted to greyscale in PSE4.
I'm determined to shoot more directly in B&W and RAW; I've been lazy up to now but I think that I should get a bit more serious and treat the D2 as a B&W cam and see where it leads.

If you are going to shoot for B&W you should definitely shoot RAW IMHO. (Ditto colour

)

Does PSE4 have a "Channel Mixer" adjustment option?

Nice image Pete with a typical (this summer anyway) English sky.

So you don't have to go to Ireland for clouds? Nice BW conversion Pete.

elansprint72 · 09/23/07, 10:34 PM

Thanks folks; I think the Irish ferry brought the clouds

Don't think that PSE4 has a channel mixer, whatever that is.

Pete -

Lovely light and tonal gradations.

A really nice capture Pete and I think Andy's on to something !
I believe that there's more excellent light and tonality to come out here, enhancing it even more than already is. IMO.

So sharp it hurts! BW is well done no matter how you did it. Personally, I like C1 and RAW.
