View from the Adams Street Bridge

My tag challenge this week was HDR and b&w, an odd combination but as I've learned, definitely do-able. I took three bracketed shots of this scene in color, created a single HDR version of it. Converted to b&w in Silver Efex.

Wow - I'm not a big HDR fan but I love this in black and white. Might need to give that a go

[Taffy]

@rachelwithey I do like HDR but not the really crazy stuff. In this one I just tried to get it to be in sharp focus. Thanks for your kind comment!

Really beautiful! Love your Chicago skyline and city shots.

HRD and b&w go surprisingly well together. Did you use Nik HDR? You can do the b&w there without importing to Silver Efex.
