b/w definitely needs its own overdue space. i love b/w ! i just suck at it as a landscape photographer.
Wow, Tree! You are so talented!
Wow, thanks!!! Although, I would call CarpyBiggs and Richard Barron talented, I use luck and photoshop! :thumb:Quote:

LOVE that Liberty Park shot - great composition, clever to think of shooting there. It's really great.
Ditto. That is a fantastic shot! :hail2thechief:Quote:

When I first re-discovered the desert, it was because I had a bunch of B&W paper at the office that had become obsolete, and was just going to go in the trash, so I said to a buddy, "We should go on a New Mexico shooting tour and shoot a bunch of black and white that I could print on this old paper." It was revolutionary for me, and led me to Utah, which I visited the first time in 2002.
Anyway, here are a couple of black-and-whites from over the years...

Bisti Wilderness, New Mexico

Mesa Arch, fisheye

Elephant Canyon from Chesler Park, Canyonlands, fisheye
http://myweb.cableone.net/abbysm/pix/bwscanarches02.jpg
Delicate Arch from below, fisheye. Of all the photos I have ever made, remembering this one scares me the most. There is a ledge just below Delicate Arch that is relatively safe to stand on. Below that is steeper and steeper slickrock that rapidly becomes a cliff. You can see the safe ledge on the left side of this image. When I look back on it, I realize I had inched down that cliff well beyond my limits, and one wrong move would have sent me to the bottom. Live and learn.
This is my cat. His name is Black-and-White.

nice crosses richard !
Last month this picture was a winner in a photo contest at my work. They were looking for photos to put in the conference rooms. It was my first victory. Okay, the competition probably wasn't that stiff.

Thanks Hank, it is sepia. It looks cozier than B&W :haha:Quote:

Temple of the Birds? Where is this on the GSL?Quote:

I was at an art exhibit Thursday and saw some B&W with the edges blurred. Made me think of this pic I took in China. So I gave it a go.
did you use the dodge tool or did you feather it?Quote:

I am so new to this, I truly have no clue what I am doing other then having fun with my pics.
another similar way to do that so that you don't loose anything as you erase is to create a layer mask on the blurry layer you created. Then, use a soft-edged round brush, with black color, to paint on the layer mask (make sure the layer mask is selected when you paint!). This will reveal what is behind or underneath the blurry layer. If you then decide that you want to change something back to blurry that you've "erased" just paint over the area with a soft-egded white brush. This will conceal what's underneath the blurry layer and add the blur back to those spots. :five:Quote:
