Hi all,
I took this shot in May this year at Kirkcaldy Harbour in Scotland. Silver FX software was used to bring out the texture. Used a Canon 350D with Nikkor 50mm f1.4 AI. What do you think?

Great image Bob,
i am a sucker for dark images though...
The processing is great, it really adds a gritty feel to the subject.

It does look very film-like! What settings did you use in SFX?

Martin,
this is a bit embarassing but being the cheapskate that I am, I only downloaded the free 2 week trial version of Silver FX & just played around with the various sliders etc until I got this image. I simply cant remember what I did! I do know that this software is worth every cent & I will fork out & buy it soon.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments.
I would recommend Silver FX to anyone who like mono conversions. It is simply amazing software. You can try it for free for 2 weeks.
Here is the original colour shot for you to compare. Chalk & cheese!

As you can see, the original shot was quite boring & slightly out of focus. I took this shot quickly while walking along a pier with some other people. The only thing I liked about the original shot was the angle & after converting it to mono, it now hangs proudly on my wall in a frame! The software really pulls out the texture, even from areas where it is invisible in the colour version.
regards,
Robert |
