Re: PESO - Balance
After viewing several other conversions, I decided to try my hand at a more traditional looking BW. I do want to thank everyone for their efforts. It was very helpful for me to look at several different ones. So here is my conversion: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0191a.htm Here is the orginal BW that looks sort of IR: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0191bw.htm Here is the original color version: http://www.daytonphoto.com/PAW/monumentvalley_0191.htm -- Best regards, Bruce Saturday, July 30, 2005, 2:32:39 PM, you wrote: BD A bit of a departure for me, I decided to try this particular one in BD BW.

Re: PESO - Balance
Bruce, I can't remember another pic of yours in BW... This is nice, but would be even nicer if the facing side of the balancing rock weren't in shadow. The sky is so dark that you could probably lighten things without making the result look strange.

Re: PESO - Balance
Great shot Bruce AS USUAL...! But I do think the B/W conversion can be improved. The red channel leaves a lot of noise in the sky and the rocks look a bit bleached. Had a go at it by selecting and darkening the sky and lightening and boosting the contrast of the shadowed rock. Just normal PS greyscale transform.

RE: PESO - Balance
Hi Bruce ... it's a rather poor conversion. Tonality of the rocks is harsh, infrared like, sky is filled with artifacts, tonality is not very smooth, and there is a very annoying something, maybe sharpening artifacts, along the left side of the base of rocks upon which the top rock is balanced. Maybe you wanted the contrast afforded by the red filter, however, imo, the execution of it doesn't work well here.

Re: PESO - Balance
Hello Powell, When I did the original conversion, it looked quite IR like, which kind of intrigued me. However, seeing what you did, I think I'll go back for another try and see what I can come up with for a more traditional BW.

RE: PESO - Balance
Since I kvetched about the conversion, it's only fair i put up a variation for you to see. I checked each color channel (after the heads-up from Powell) and saw that it was in poor condition. So, I converted to Lab color and worked only with the luminosity, or lightness channel. The results look a little better in PS than they do on my screen and viewed through the browsers - and if I were to spend a little more time on it I might try increasing local contrast in some areas of the rocks that are in shade. However, it seems that the tonality here reflects the tonal range in your original fairly well, so I didn't want to really change the photo. http://home.earthlink.net/~pdml-pics/temp/nv-bw.html Shel [Original Message] From: Bruce Dayton A bit of a departure for me, I decided to try this particular one in BW.

Re: PESO - Balance
Bruce, Just now took a look at Balance. IMO it lacks the depth that might be provided by a slight + nudge of the contrast slider. Shel's clean (virtually artifact free) treatment appears to me a great starting point, so am offering a version providing a hint more depth. Tiny +contrast and light glare-removing touches with burn tool.

However, with all honesty, I like the color original better than either of b/w shots. Probably opening up shadows on the balancing rock would make it even more attractive to me. I mean the color shot of course. Boris
