Smallfarmgirl.........

I think that black and white shots are way overdone. Many folks have told me that they like to take pic and convert it to black and white so it looks professionsal. (sigh........there is so much more that goes into a professional shot than that). Black and whites are a pet peeve of mine and I cringe when I see that someone as converted a shot to black and white.

HOWEVER..........I like that one. (hahaha, you thought I was being mean, didnt you!). That old truck and that angle make this a good black and white because it is UNIQUE. It's a little over exposed, which isnt recessarily a bad thing, I think it works for this pic.

I know that you like black and white shots, so I want to show you something, if you have the software.

I'm not sure what photo editing software you are using, but if you have the proper software and understand what a histogram is, trying playing with this one. Bring your highlights down a little and darken your shadows. You can see how the "mood" of the shot changes.

ALso, if you have the original color shot........I'd like to play with it and type up a quick lesson on conversion. Would you mind providing the color shot and letting me edit in various ways in a thread? You'd get full credit for the shot.
