great black and white
OK - it's been too long since I've added much here.
I just ran across this article though, and it's really worth checking out. It goes into detail about 2 different ways to move from a color image to a black and white image. They don't even mention levels!
I have known about the 'don't go grayscale' to be black and white... but I hadn't realized there were a couple of ways to get from here to there. I'm a fan of the channel mixer idea myself.
In the past I'd just used one of the red green or blue channels and called it a day, but hadn't realized you could blend the 3 together to get a different grey scaled image. (truth told I'd then run one of the channels through levels or curves for some different looks - but I could probably still do that using the channel mixer idea!)
Perhaps I should turn some of my color images B&W -- just for fun of it.
Guess I got to start shooting some more!
I've decided to go back to Moab, and grab more shots there, and I think I'll buy myself a new camera to go there with.
Why not?!
