Something a little different. Been messing around sorting out my photos. Some of my recent efforts converted to greyscale. I think some of these look better than the original colour images.









Roll on tomorrow. My trigger finger is itching.

Sweet. Tomorrow, try shooting  a few "in black and white", if your camera will do that. Might get more of a "real b&w" feel than converting...
And BTW, have a blast- hope the weather is kind...

Doug, when I tried to shoot some stuff, I was told by a friend that if I did that again, he'd never look at another of my shots again...........

.........from my perspective, keep shooting how you like,.......it's the stuff that's different, which makes things interesting........

.......I started in B/W so you'll always have me on your side with them........just use a yellow( No. 8 ) filter to enhance the contrast a bit.......

Very nice, particularly the Chilton. Love number 6 too!

Wow! I love the 3rd and fourth one best!

as usual doug your shots are always great...i love the last shot myself..very nice

what do you mean with 'more recent cameras'... my Fed is just as good (it's our awful scanner that is the hurdle for putting my pictures online)

Thanks for your comments. Think I'll stick to colour but sometimes black & white photos look better. Depends on the subject.

These were only quickly converted to see how they looked. I think you're going by old newspaper & magazine photos. These are far more pixellated than the worst digital image due to the printing process used. If you saw the original prints from a high quality plate I think you would be impressed.

I can always add a little noise to make them look old if that's what you want. Camera manufacturers must spend millions of dollars trying to make the images clearer.
