I said I was going to bore you!

My first attempts at digital manipulation with my new camera.
My buddy j.w. and the Viscout at Stoney last Friday..

Black and white can be great fun. I really like that plane. Gives an eerie look to it all. What's that, a Vickers Viscount?

The diver I thought was a bit overexposed, makes it look like the pic was cut out from an old newspaper. Cool effect in itself but not intentional?

Keep em coming

Your buddy shot reminded me of a press pic, nice and grainy with strong contrast, I like it.
My outfit arrives from the UK today, can´t wait to get snappin.

I have to agree the plane pic I like the diver looks washed out - could you tweak the contrast / brightness?

Hi guys,

Thanks for your kind comments. I've tarted up a few photos enhancing the natural colours etc, but I'm really getting into the B&W stuff. The Newspaper effect wasn't intentional as such, but both photos, after much playing with, jumped off the screen at me and then I knew that they were what I had in my minds eye to achieve. All I need to do know is note down the settings I use for future reference!!

Off to Plymouth next weekend, so expect some of the Scylla and JEL the following week!

All the best,

Ian
