plant in bw and colour

[gravymaster]

Hi Guys,

Im getting to grips with the 1D and took it out for half an hour or so this afternoon between lectures and work. I like this in colour and b&w, but i cant decide. For those who care, b&w conversion done with fred miranda's bw workflow pro with yellow filter setting.





Thanks for looking!

Hard to choose as you say, but I think colour just has the edge........


Nice photos though.....

Black and White - stunning.

Is the fred miranda tip a plugin, or an action/script, or a sequence of instructions?

Hi guys. Thanks for the comments!

Fred's bw workflow is a plug in. It really is excellent and is only 30 dollars. I have a couple of his other actions which are also excellent. the bw workflow is here: www.fredmiranda.com/shopping/BW

ps. Freddie the cat looks great!

Black & white - definitely!

I also checked out the bw workflow and it looks great. At a first glance it seems you can do everything the plugin does in "normal" PS but it would no doubt be very handy to have all the functions and options in one place. Plus it also seems very user friendly.
Thanks for the tip Gravy!

I'm just discovering "channel-mixing" to create B/W images which also gives lots of options to tweak the image.

Black and white does it for me.

Out of interest, how did you set the shot up, i.e., background and lighting?

ETA - actually, having looked at it some more, colour now has the edge!

B&W for me, very classical.

BW WFPro is excellent, highly recommended - Matt, I've got a copy of Digital Velvia if you want.

cheers,

My vote goes for the B&W version, but I'd just clone out the very bottom leaf in the page and darken the light vertical one directly above it so that the plant just fades into blackness.

Colour for me...
