Title: The Rock
Post by: IVAN ZEITLIN on November 20, 2011, 09:11:06 am
I've been working on my B+W images but I am saddened to say I have not got the look that I want. No pop or wow effect for me yet so any help would be great.

Here is another image to help you with your review of my images and problems.

The images aren't too bad, there may be a bit too much contrast as there's some loss of detail in the shadow areas and the whites are starting to blow out in places. I find that when processing monos in P/shop that "less is more". I try to get the exposures as good as I can in-camera by lots of bracketing. I much prefer a softer approach to black & whites than the harsh constrasty look.

The only real downside to these 2 shots for me is that the horizons are a bit "off kilter" - very important for any landscape shot - get your horizons right.  :)
