Hi Terry,

I rated and commented on the second in your gallery. Well done. Graydon

excellent subject for this type of treatment - nicely done.

Nicely done. It almost looks like you have a patina, old postcard look to the shots.

Re: Take One!_HDR

Many thanks for the positive crit.

I have tried Graydon's suggestion of conversion to B & W of #2.

Does it work better than the colour version, or should I leave well alone?

You can never tell with club judges can you?

Regards

Re: Take One!_HDR

I actually prefer it in colour!

Re: Take One!_HDR

Terry, it was just a suggestion - I prefer the colour too! That said how did you convert to B&W? Did you know quite a difference can be achieved using channels instead of just desaturating the image? I'm still learning but if you didn't know you may be interested in trying this out.

I checked out the web site, thanks for the link, and they have a fantastic gallery. I wondered why they were all in B&W and then I noticed the dates on the photos


Kind regards

The tramway museum is somewhere I'd recommend. (though I havent been in more than 5 years now) Its a great day out with a chance to ride on some historic vehicles.

I checked out Channels and although the Blue gave a reasonable image I got a better one by cheating.

Corel Pant Shop Pro has some "Old Time" presets and I used the Platinum one.

Once again thanks for all the input, it is very useful.

Also, with regard to the museum if you are a tax payer and allow them to claim back the tax from your initial entry fee the resulting ticket allows you entry (at no extra charge) for the next 12 months. I don't know if the offer is still applicable but it was in early October
