Ow, so cute. I dig the gray scale on this image. A lot of rich tones between the black and the white gamut. Almost looked like it was shot with film. Cheers.

Thanks guys. Rob, I'm an old school zone system photographer learning how to do that with digital. Thanks for your comment.

[Mike Buckley]

Another nice one, Travis!

Lightroom has a very handy display of the Zone System in its Develop module. I don't remember if you use that software.

EDIT: See my post below explaining the capability in detail and making the correction that it is in SilverEfex Pro, not Lightroom. Ouch!

I do...how/where is it?

In Lightroom 5 it is in the left hand panel of the Develop module.

I think Connie is referring to the B&W presets located on the left side of Lightroom's Develop panel. I look forward to her correcting me if I'm wrong.

I was referring to a display of the Zone System, not B&W presets. Unfortunately, that display is in SilverEfex Pro, not Lightroom as I incorrectly posted. My very, very bad!

SilverEfex Pro displays the 11 zones in the bottom of the Loupe & Histogram panel located in the bottom right corner of the window. To display the zones, hover over that panel. When you hover over a particular zone, the tonalities included in that zone are displayed in the image. You can Click a single zone or Ctrl-Click a combination of zones (such as 0, 5 and 10). Doing so automatically displays the tonalities in whatever zone(s) you selected without having to hover over the panel. That particular combination is good for seeing where your brightest, darkest and mid tones are displayed in the image.

This is a screen shot, I am hoping this is the tones you are talking about, if not then maybe I don't know what you or I are talking about. (Hopefully the image comes through it has been quite a while since I have posted)

It's nice of all of you to not flood the responses with the fact that I can't tell my right from my left. Clearly what I am talking about is the right side panel. Sorry.

Connie, us old folks need to stick together...around my house there're called "senior moments"
BTW, I'm a retired CRNA.

I feel bad that I am responsible for starting the whole mess about Lightroom's supposed display of the Zone System when, in fact, the program doesn't display it. The Lightroom Histogram does display certain zones but they are NOT correlated to the 11 zones that are the system invented and explained by Ansel Adams. More important, unlike SilverEfex Pro, Lightroom doesn't indicate where the various zones are displayed in the image itself.

I'm more than a little bit miffed that Chauncey has given Connie a break for her mistake but he has not mentioned anything of the sort pertaining to mine.

[Jeffbridge]

Very cool shot! Great job!

[travis4567]

Thanks guys. Mike, after your post I went nuts searching through Lightroom 5 to find a Zone System display in the develop module. It doesn't exist. Thanks to all of you for clarifying that.
