Bonus Weekend Blogging
To make up for not hosting this week’s P&P Weekly I thought I would offer a bonus weekend post for your viewing pleasure.
I found a couple of free moments between setup and our start time so I wandered out into the large gathering area outside of the ballroom and shot off a few out the windows. This one is looking down the street at City Hall in Springfield, MA.
It is a composite of two shots that I auto-aligned and masked in Photoshop to remove a few cars driving down the street and use the yellow light instead of the green. Then I spot-healed a few reflections on the window and brought into Lightroom 2 Beta to process it as a B&W. One of the features I like in LR2 is the Post-Crop Vignette. That’s one of the things that has always frustrated me in LR1 and I’m glad the team worked it out for this version.
Nice tone in your black and white conversion.
Very nice..I too like the tones here. Thanks for sharing a scene from the area…hope all is going well.
