As part of this process, I came across a picture I had liked when I took it a few months ago, but was never fully happy with it. With my new expertise (?) in photography I now know a lot more about converting images to B&W and making them 'pop' and whilst it is still difficult to achieve a really good image, I think I am improving.
So my latest effort is a shot of Harry sat on my desk in the workshop after falling over outside - he had been upset, but now looks very contemplative, pensive almost. The light is coming from behind him through the window and this created an interesting halo effect, but it wasn't until I desaturated the photo (to make it greyscale) and then turned up the black levels and contrast until it looked very black and white rather than shades of grey. A little sharpening and the use of Lightroom's adjustment brush to lighten his face, and this is the result...
Appreciate your comments!
