A Cool Rainy Evening - B/W May 7th

After work I went out for my usual walk. It was a rainy day here in Pennsylvania, and the temperature was a little cooler than it had been, but still not too bad to be outdoors. The area around the lake was quiet, not many walkers tonight, and the sky was grey, but I think the details stood out so well in the B/W tones, and it gave a nice depth to the photo. Hope your Monday went well.

Really nice- did you shoot in B&W or edit a color shot? You have such nice tones here and mine doesnt so I am trying to figure out this B&W style.

@adobewaters Adobe, no, this one was not film. The collage I did earlier was film.

[Kathy Burzynski]

Rick this turned out perfect in B&W - looks like a little faded color showing through (or is that my imagination?).

[Rick Schies]

@myhrhelper In my editing I added a bit of sepia, and then the texture itself I believe has a little color to it.

[Jane Hyde]

lovely tones

[Sandie Reardon]

I see that you're taking the 5wksinmay challenge, too. Awesome! This is such a peaceful and serene looking photo. The sepia tones make it look very old indeed. Nice!
