Grey, grey, grey.....

[Iwan Bogels]

Hi guys,

This week I have been playing about with Photo Mechanic, Photoshop, Lightroom and Photomatix Pro. My goal was to try out some new things and just have a bit of fun with my shots. While at it I thought about grey aircraft, grey skies and grey circumstances. This inspired me to fiddle a bit in black and white, and this is just a first result. Hope you like it...

Shot at 1/60 sec, f22, ISO 200, 165mm with a Canon EOS-1D Mark IV and a Canon EF 70-200/2.8L IS (if you're still interested)

Cheers,
Iwan

Iwan if you like playing with Black and White settings try Silver efex photoshop plugin by Nik software (free trial on their website) While expensive it can make photos look totally different:





sorry for hi-jacking your thread

Hi Graham, thanks for the tip ! No need to worry about hi-jacking "my" thread, as I was hoping for a response like this. The more, the merrier.

Re-discovering black & white is fun. Let's see what others have.

Cheers,
Iwan

Hi Gio,

Nice shots ! What did you do to achieve the vignetting (darker corners) ? Did you use a special setting or did you do it manually on each individual photo ?

Cheers,
Iwan
