Last week I was doing some long exposures in the city and when I went to process one of them I converted it to black and white first. This is what I ended up with.
I decided to use this image for Monochrome Madness over on my other blog today. I like how it came out in monochrome.
As I usually do I converted it back to colour to see how it would look.
I lost some of the detail in the sky, but the blues in it are quite nice. It is going to be personal choice I think as to which one is better. I don’t think I have a preference.
I love the composition, and see merits in both the colour and B&W version. Have you considered keeping most of it monochrome and brushing some colour back in-( eg the river and bridge)?
That is pretty nmuch what I did Richard, I tried to get rid of as much of the colour as I could, but it kept it colour. Thank you.
fabulous images Leanne ( of course!)
Thank you Cybele.
Super work, Leanne.
Thank you Don.
That is stunning in colour but more incredible in black and white
Thank you Kirsty, it is nice when an image works in both.
