Black and White from the Weekend

This is a photo from Saturday night in Ocean City. I applied my “yellow filter” effect, converted it to black and white, used LightMachine to play with the lighting and contrast, applied one of my edges and then sharpened the photo.

I thought the swirly edge went well with a water picture.

Something to keep in mind, I understand that the human eye can only detect 15 shades of gray. That may be one of the reasons black and white photo’s look so different from color one.

This came out nicely. Black and White always makes a better statement than color. The landscape photos of Ansel Adams will last forever.

I've been looking an Adams' prints of late. For the most part they are fairly dark with a high amount of contrast.
