Nice to see you entering the world of B/W photography.

I realise that these are not the first ones, but they are the best IMHO.

The difficult part is to show details in the white snow. Do you use the Channel Mixer?

Wow, cool photos, Thomas (maybe also cold bigsmile ) but beautiful.
My favorite is the lonely house with the fog? or clouds? in the background. up

Thank you Allan,
I definitely agree... I am really happy with these.
And yes I have a few from earlier that I like, but these are by far my favourites.
But also among the first I have successfully shot with the intention to convert them to black and white.

Keeping details in the snow is really hard when wanting high contrast too.
These are not perfect in that respect, but I think the balance is pretty OK...

yes the channel mixer is the actualy conversion tool.

thanks again,
Thomas

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Monday, May 14, 2007 11:22:03 PM

Thank you Bea...
I agree with you... B&W are very different from colour photos and in a way more emotional or artistic... but they have their applications just like colour.

You have a wonderful week too:)

Thank you Ulie... glad you like them.

haven´t you witnessed Spring there yet???? p

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, May 16, 2007 12:34:35 AM

Nope not really:lol:
Snow still falling every now and then... not enough to cover the streets though...
and the forecast says temperatures below 0C from Thursday...

Cool wink they almost look like real BW (from BW film)... Not many people are good with digital BW, but this ones look really well.

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, May 16, 2007 10:46:35 AM

Thank you Nikio...
I am glad you think so, that real film like B&W is what I was hoping to achieve.

The two first images are really nice. Like them a lot up

Thomas Bojer EltorpDuplo Wednesday, May 16, 2007 5:31:56 PM

Thank you Asgeir:)
