Alphaon In reply to CainPascoe [2009-03-05 08:57:14 +0000 UTC]

Thanks a lot Cain!! Nice to hear that from you You have no idea how much time I spent honing those tones in Lightroom to get that look But I made that as a preset so it's easier to do similar bw shots at some point, and why not colored too. Actually I used that same preset with the "Illusionist" photo, although tweaked just a bit Shhh...

CainPascoe In reply to Alphaon [2009-03-05 09:12:51 +0000 UTC]

Your welcome Jouni! You can spend ages in Lightroom moving those adjustment sliders ever so slightly Pain in the arse sometimes! But really paid off in your case Another applause for sure

Alphaon In reply to CainPascoe [2009-03-05 10:51:30 +0000 UTC]

Yes when you're trying to achieve a particular look, it can be a real pain in the ass to move those sliders ever so slightly as you said Then after 15-20 minutes you can't even see where you're going with that style cause you're honing it way too perfectly

Excellent black and white work I really kind of like the bright spot on the horizon as it pulls the eye to it. Looks like you folks are just as frozen as we are

Well done!

"I really kind of like the bright spot on the horizon as it pulls the eye to it" That's about the purpose of it It would've been so easy to make it darker, but this photo needed it somehow Kind of like adds a punch into this photo I guess. Thanks a lot for everything mate

wow this is beautiful! i love that it's black & white. i can imagine it in color & from what i see, i bet it looks much better like this. either way, amazing shot!

Alphaon In reply to ofXsacredXflame [2009-03-04 22:14:35 +0000 UTC]

Yes it's much better this way But that's not the reason why I did this in bw. It's mostly cause I've seen so many awesome bw shots lately that I just had to try one myself cause it's been awhile since my last one
