B&W Greenwich University

[RockNGoalStar]

Here's one that I shot last year up at Greenwich University. I just downloaded the trial of Silver Efex Pro 2 and thought I'd have a play with it on this image.

Let me know what you think!

Nikon D90 | nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 @ 52mm | f/20 | 1/50 sec | ISO 200



Thanks for viewing

I love this shot. The contrasts, the perspective. Very nice.

Well done, I like this image a lot. The stone and columns are wonderful, but the shadows/vanishing point on the floor are perfect!

Saw this earlier on my work monitor, but wanted to get home to see it properly before commenting. And , yes, compositionally it's as good as I thought it was.

I keep banging on about B & W being about tones, textures, lines and shapes. Well, here's the evidence m'lord!

Super work, Tommy.

ps - Have fun with SEP2. You won't be able to resist buying it. If you haven't discovered them yet, go into the NIK 'Video on demand' back-catalogue of webinars. Lots of good stuff there about using SEP2.

An excellent subject for B&W with lots going on to look at. The processing has gone too far for my liking but overall a great photo.

Great shot Tommy. So far I've been using Elements for my conversion. You persuaded me to look closely at specialist software. This really is a good shot.

Lovely piece of work. Would be quite wasted in colour. I've been using Silver Efex Pro for a while now and I just love it!

[Jack R Mann]

Love b+w great shot!!

Tommy I am going to guess, fine art with border, and a increase of structure for that image?

Very good work tommy, well done. Has a slight hdr look to it, but not over the top.

[jeeperman]

Very nice Tommy. Good work start to finish here.

Chris, PBelarge (real name?), Donald, Anderw, Graham, Martin, Jack, Allan, Steve, Paul, thank you all for your comments. it's nice to receive such encouragement

Graham

Thanks Graham! It was others on here that 'pursuaded' me to take a look at it. Some of the results I see from people using SEP2 are trully amazing. It can do in seconds what would take hours in Photoshop alone.

I think you might be right here Donald!

The processing has gone too far for my liking but overall a great photo.

Thanks Andrew. I know I really should stop listening to Queen, "Don't Stop Me Now" when I'm post processing my images! I got a hold of that 'structure' slider in SEP2 and just got way too excited by it! In all seriousness though, I am guilty of over-processing things, so will try to heed your advice and go for slightly more realistic results in future

Allan

Allan, you're right about the structure, but I created the border all by myself I always have the same border.. ...ish!

Thanks again for all your comments

I love the repeating lines...
