I am lucky enough to call the Presidio of San Francisco my backyard. If you subscribed to the Epson Online Academy, it's the area that Vincent Versace was shooting.
While walking my dog this morning, I took this shot and decided to use it as a comparison of Black and White Conversion. The photo was taken with the RD-1 with a Leica 50/1.4 ASPH lens. I set the WB on the camera to Cloudy but switched it to Shady once I was in the Epson PhotoRaw Plug-in (I am a Mac user).
Shot #1 is the original, #2 is B&W conversion using PhotoRaw, and #3 was the RGB conversion in Photoshop using what is termed the "Gregg Gorman Technique", (although I understand that it is one of his assistants that actually came up with the technique).
Looking forward to your comments.
Cheers,
bill
