B&W Family - for C&C

[ronlane]

Here are a couple of photos that I converted to black & white from a shoot last weekend. I use LR4 with some presets that I got from Matt Kloskowski.
I converted them to b&w and then used an hdr preset on them.

1. I thought this one was good in color but I think I like it more this way.

2. Using the HDR on the color on this photo gave it an overcooked look. It still does here but I think it works.

3. This one was just a flat look in color and b&w until you add the HDR effect.

Ron.. personally I do not like the processing... that preset is not attractive for these...

Do me a favor and post the originals..

Is it the HDR effect that is what you don't like?

Probably... looks like fake HDR... lol! Presets often are not worth the money, Ron! And free ones are worth even less....

It is fake HDR. It's a good thing that I charged those free presets to you, lol. As I said, these are from Scott Kelby's crew - Matt Kloskowski.
