On my last visit to Canada I want hoping to get some classic style B&W images but my film camera acted up on the trip. So I when with my second option witch was to convert them to B&W from digital. This is not one of my favorite things to do. Because it a lot hard to get the look of film from digital that it is to just use film from the start.
I asked about grain, contrast and darkness. Because I believe that they are some of the key issues to the look I was trying to accomplish.
-The required tonal range is not present-
Not sure it Weston, Adams, Butcher and etc would agree with thatScenics in most cases do not go well in black and white and this image is no exception. --The colour version is much better.-
My edits so far have all been global or with filters. I may try running a graduated neutral density filter side to side to lighten the left side with the mountains up some. But first I will get some test prints made of #s 1 and 2 before starting over#2 does look kind of dark. Given Edit#1, I'd probably darken the lake surface a bit, and also some burning in the sky, and probably a little in the mountains near the top, to give it a more natural look... but then, technically, the way it is is the natural look.---Looks like a tough image to work with.
after my initial post I am also starting to thinking that The Zone is a little weak
