Using HDR to create a B&W is another way to exploit the broad dynamic range that a HDR image gives me. This image was created from a three frame bracket set that I first processed in NIK HDR Efex Pro 2.
After tone mapping and adjusting the contrast I returned the image to Aperture 3 for final color adjustments and sharpening. After finishing it there I decided to use OnOne Perfect B&W to convert it to a monochrome image. I liked the composition and the way the conversion turned out which is why I’m sharing it with my readers.
I think this bridge series would be equally strong in black and white. The color is fantastic though!
I think so too Karen though I’m almost always drawn to intense color. I also enjoy making the Black and White images if they are of the right subject.
Very dynamic in B&W – great choice!
Thanks Phyllis.
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog for a little while today. I had a great time and tried to leave my campsite as good as when I arrived. I’ll be back!
Thanks Russell please feel free to set up camp any time. 🙂
