Eric beat me too it!!

It's not the most original image, but I didn't have a decent whitney image so why not?

Shot this early Sat. morning with Paul in the AH with the intent to convert to b&w. Single exposure and converted in PS via channel mixer adjustment layer. I did brighten up the moon just a bit but didn't want to get carried away and steal the spot light from whitney. How does the b&w look?

5d, 70-200 f4l, .......

Cool Cory,
I still have AH on my "to do" list so I will add the AM after full moon

I am Glad Eric is behind in PP also....I am about that far also

I just got a new computer and CS3 so now I just need to learn it..
So thanks for the B&W conversion tips.....
This conversion looks very cool and almost other-worldly.
Did you try a little Sepia to see what it would look like?
Just curious?
Thanks for sharing...

in gratitude,
Nelcha

Thanks Nelcha & Eric!

@Nelcha: I didn't try a sepia yet. I usually do as I really like sepia, but chose to use a straight b&w.

Outasight.....this is excellent, Cory. The detail is perfect throughout. A flawless conversion too.

Thanks Paul. Have you gotten any more of your shots processed yet?

Nice! this is also on my to do list. I like the B&W but, have you tried a more contrasty conversion?
