Guin, B&W stuff

Post by Gob »

I've been using a new technique for making B&W shots "pop". Not fully mastered it yet, but getting there.

Gorgeous, thanks for sharing! Those are all shot in raw, yes? I need a new memory card so I can switch to raw....

I'm starting class #2 later this month -- just got my copy of Lightshop 4 the other day but haven't even opened the package yet.

Yes, and no!

They are shot in RAW and Jpeg at the largest image setting on my Canon.

However, the way I do these involves them being merged as HDR shots before being turned into black and white, and my HDR program will not use RAW.

You won't regret it.

I still use a Minolta X700 35mm SLR camera. Getting to be a problem for good developers. The local drugstores 1 hour developing just doesn't cut it.

Couple more for you

I love the way I can control the tonal range with this technique.
