    Before The Storm

    Landscape,or even black+white is not a genre i am used to tackling,but this year i'm gonna try and have a go at different types of photography,so what's the verdict? Before The Storm

    Re: Before The Storm

    David - What is/are your tool(s) for B & W conversion?

    We don't need to know that in order to comment on the image, but it would help if someone was wanting to give specific advice on getting the best out of the tool in question.

    Hi Donald,

    I done the basics in Lightroom,then used your preferred tool,Nik S.E.P,then back to Lightroom for a tad of dodging and burning.

    Cheers David

    Very nice shot, David

    It looks like you preserved some detail on the mountain sides and went with a less contrasty look. It's a personal preference, but I would be inclined toward a trial of raising the black point a smidge, and either raising the highlights a little or a more liberal dodging of the cloud, and valley highlights. I like the village and foreground light foliage as they are.

    I loved the image David with more light and detail in the foreground and a foggy look in the background.I also loved the clouds

    Re: Before The Storm

    The second one is far better for me, didn't expect such a difference by changing a little

    An excellent shot and you made it come much more alive in #2. A definite wall hanger.
