andcolor Posted August 2, 2007 Share #44 Posted August 2, 2007 I've been doing quite a bit of landscape work with my M8 - but these two, shot the very aftrenoon I picked it up, are my favorites.

etienne_werner Posted August 2, 2007 Share #46 Posted August 2, 2007 And I loved it there as well... Let us into the secret of this superb B&W conversion please... Hello Jaap, Thank you for the compliment and I would like to return the compliment for your pictures here. I find your B&W conversion, above, very good. Especially considering the difficult DR in the landscape. Well, my secret isn't really a secret. The process goes something like this: ACR raw conversion don't put to much contrast in the picture as you will be raising the contrast with layers and by colour later. PS If possible I use: select - color range to select the sky. from this I make a layer and work on the contrast and levels.I raise the contrast quite a bit without blowing out the highlights. Note: In my opinion, working on the sky separately will add to the picture's 3D effect when it's finished. If the skyline is not perfectly selected I will use the background layer to bring out the non-sky elements into the picture. Next I select inverse so that I can work on the land elements. I am very much spoiled as far as DR is concerned (The Fuji cameras) so I take care on leaving as much information, in both dark areas and highlights. Next: Channel Mixer. Here I do most of the work. I hardly ever raise the blue beyond zero. Sometimes even into the negative. Red and green will need to find the right balance. After the channel mixer I will bring up curves and slightly raise the dark tones so that black is realy black. From here you have a B&W picture. If you like sepia; I use Johny's B&W Package for the toning. I have posted this action on one of my sites as the original site where I downloaded is not online. Index of /~wfa/download I hope this helps, Kind regards, Etienne Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisC Posted August 2, 2007 Share #55 Posted August 2, 2007 Guy - I think you got the adjustments wrong. I immediately responded to the brooding menace in Arthur's landscape, and on my monitor it looked great. For me, the re-adjustments made it un-special and turned a strong image with it's own character into yet another pictorial image. No doubt this is a minority view. ....................Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptruman Posted August 2, 2007 Share #58 Posted August 2, 2007 The superb images in this thread prove beyond all doubt that the M8 is a great tool for landscape work. Not that long ago I used to walk to fells carrying a large rucksack with Canon DSLR, 3 - 4 lenses, filter kits, tripod, etc. Now I carry a smaller sack with M8, 2 lenses (28mm and 75mm work for me) and that's it.
