playing w/digital B&W

[jstuedle]

I am no expert in PS, but I'm learning. I mostly learn something new as I run into situations that require a new technique. But I have been playing with digital B&W with the goal of making an image look "retro". Sort of duplicating what I did in high school in the '60s. Take a look and let me know what you think.



This was shot with a D1X 18-35mm zoom, pola filter. After sizing and crop, converted to B&W using a Fred Miranda action, added grain and tint, also through the FM action. If you would like a bigger version follow: http://www.pbase.com/jstuedle/image/46442337/original

i think it has too much grain, but i personally like nice clean b&w pics. also is this sepia tint?
