B&W Pano

[ronlane]

Here's a cityscape pano of OKC that I converted to b&w. The processing was done using a technique that I found on youtube.

Wanting to improve my b&w conversions without always using the presets and/or plugins.

I think the conversion is lovely (but the composition is not as good.)

Thanks Lew. Yeah I had this 3 shot and a 5 shot pano from this location and liked the 5 shot much better. I just left it processed in color.

This exercise was about the conversion.

Nice conversion; almost an IR-like tone to it.

Thanks John.

I like the conversion, Ron! This is completely IMO since we all have different tastes, but the blue and green (and possibly red and magenta?) are too dark. I'd like to see a little more separation between the sky and the skyscraper on the left and the building in the middle with the clouds behind it.

ETA: Maybe some burning/dodging?

Here is the video on the conversion method that I used. As John mentioned, I didn't make mine as dark as he does, but the process is the same.
