Not much picture taking happening today....yesterday was beautiful and in the 80's but today was a bit dismal with the temps back down in the 40's with a wind advisory and rain sprinkles on and off all day. I took a handful of pictures on the way back from school this afternoon but none of them were anything to get excited about so I took this one and converted it to black and white and upped the contrast...it pretty much represents today's damp & dreary weather. On the bright side I think it's supposed to warm back up to 60 by Wednesday! :).
Oooh, yeah...I do like it in B&W more so than the color. Very pretty. Yeah, stinkin' weather today, huh? Oh, well...Joe Winters on KCRG says close to 60 tomorrow. ;^)
This is a very beautiful and dramatic photo!!! We have rain today, too, and it's in the 40's... I KNOW spring is coming, but it's sure taking its time!!!
@dejongdd Thank you Deb, no HDR but I did boost the local contrast in Picnik and added a little sharpening. I haven't even tried HDr yet other than the Picnik effect. I've had Photomatix for a couple months but haven't been brave enough to try it yet. One of these days I'll have to give it a go! Yes it was a crummy day but probably seemed worse because it was SO nice yesterday!
I like both photos. We had a stormy twenty four hours. I was even pelted with a bit of hail when I went out tonight. But, the skies were so gorgeous. I think you should be brave and try that Photomatix. You will be fab with it. I am learning to see these simple scene in a new way by following your photos.
really like this - B&W disguising the greyness (i was there yesterday too - haven't uploaded today yet, but may take the same option!!) you did a great job here, I love the perspective and great processing as always!
