In another thread about lens filters, I mentioned a silly mistake I'd made that resulted in this dismally-tinted image:
I was shooting Kodak Gold 100 in a Zorki 6 and I was psyched because a) Kodak Gold 100 is no longer available (at least in the U.S. I believe) and it was a fluke that I'd found any, and b) the colors of the Maine coast are beautiful and I wanted to practice my color photography.
Since I tend to shoot b&w in the Zorki, I usually have a filter on it. When I switched rolls to the Gold 100, I forgot about the yellow filter. For the entire roll. As someone said in the other thread, it looks like it has been 'soaked in pee'.
Grrrrr.
So I tried a b&w conversion. How do ya'll think it works as monochrome?
I did adjust tones just a bit but I'm not used to conversion so I'm wondering how I did.
I think that shot above can work in b&w, but some of the other shots just need color. Here's an example:
Jaundiced version:
(Those buoys were so beautiful and colorful, it's killing me that they're all red and yellow now!)
B&W conversion:
Am I right? Does this second one not work as b&w? Or maybe it would if I had done a better conversion?
