As a big fan of black and white, I love what the new filter 'shadow/
highlight' in PhotoShop CS allows me to do. From a photo by Joe Nekrasz on www.photo.net of church, Bodie, CA
Great conversion Tracy good shadow work. Allot of people just desaturate and there really is much more to it then that. I've been meaning to do a tutorial on B&W conversion.
If you don't mind I like to do a sehpia conversion on this image. would you email it to me.
Thank you all! I hope this helps; I might post more B&W tutorials along with Clayton.
Image information: other than the new shadow/highlight tool in PS-CS, I sharpened a bit and used the curves function (I'm sure these two are found in the new filter as mentioned, but there are too many variables for a first-timer to find them all). I had to crop the original photo slightly in order to conform to the caedes image format.
im a fan of rickety old wooden sheds and buildings
this is a great atmospheric shot
composed very nicely with the sky giving this heavy overbearing feeling
Hello Tracey...Black and white photography is seen less frequently, hence it is rare - and for that reason alone... "of interest" ...Your conversion of the church to black and white in photoshop accentuates the depth of this photograph...Well done.....All the best...Mick.
Excellent eye catcher! Perfect in the b&w. Rustic old church & good detail to it. I see the 'ghost town' off in the background-and the tottering outhouse. Good prairie view of the ole west. Appreciate seeing this and your work Tracy..Thanks :*>

Nice rework
