Had the extreme pleasure of visiting one of our finest South County establishments. A bird lover's paradise. A treasure hunter's dream. A place where connoisseurs of all things trash gather to gawk.... or rid our lives of that wretched thing!Used the channel mixer (Cs2) with the monochrome feature to convert to b&w. Never feel like I've got it right. Would be a fine lesson for a click meeting.

For not getting it right it really grabbed me at first glance. It has a hint of infared because of the sky/cloud contrast. Is it good enough resolution to print you think? I think it's wall-worthy!
ReplyDeletethanks, rod! It would be interesting to see in a larger format. It's so busy with all that trash.
ReplyDeletei love this image. There is so texture to it. Curious how it looks in color?
ReplyDeleteDave, this pic grabbed me! In fact, I had already switched webpages and actually clicked the "back" button to see it again. I love the swirly sky! You nailed it. - Mrs. Tertany
ReplyDeleteTHis one rocks Davo! I really like both versions.
ReplyDeleteI like the subject matter and all the trash. THere is alot to look at in this photo. Great job processing too!
i dig the b/w version dave. almost looks like the trash is taking flight. i've had a tough time nailing b/w conversions using the channel mixer as well. have you tried throwing a curves adj layer underneath the channel mixer layer to adjust contrast? i found that to give a little extra control to the b/w toning.
ReplyDeleteThank you, everyone for the very nice comments. Hugh, thanks for the curve tip.
