Lake Ontario by northy

Lake Ontario

Converted to B&W using PSE infrared preset...

I played around with gradient layers, desat and a bunch of other stuff, but this one still looked the best to my eye... wish the sky had been prettier, but I have very few opportunities to get out to the park on my own with the camera, and must take them when they arise!

Other b&w attempt in alternate album:

@beachradish tx! yeah... the sails had me stumped... along with the rocks... tried all sorts of things to get the sails AND the rocks to stand out, without creating a hugely washed out effect... in the end just went with the preset, altho' i'm sure there's a better solution out there :)

@northy I think you did a great job ... I actually think it's the people getting in your way since they pull your eye from both the rocks and the sailboats ... your contrast is perfect, I think!

Love this in b&w. I am a sucker for sailboats. Well done!

Well, I think the sailboats are so clear it is like I was standing there! A wonderful picture!

I love the textures in this Northy, it looks great in b&w too, colour might have taken away from the feeling this conveys
