No Bill, I just pressed the Greyscale button in Lightroom and went down the panel and shifted the color sliders until I liked it :-)

Douglas,I really like the blacks in your contrasty b&w images, they are lovely, and the one of the Duke of York made me smile because it looks a lot like many joints along the coast here in California.Curiosity is killing this cat: Did you use any particular algorithm in converting from color to b&w?Thanks, Bill On Nov 13, 2009, at 6:48 AM, Douglas Sharp wrote:Hello all,I just took a day off work to get some of the snaps from my recent holiday in Whitby UK processed.The main subjects are as in the subject line. I suppose you could call it street photography - for me, that's another way of saying shooting snapshots while walking around town :-)With only a few exceptions, these were all shot on film (ASA 200 Colour Negative film - Boots store brand and Kodak Gold) with Leica and CV lenses (50/25/15/12mm), Rollei lenses (28 and 35mm) and a Zeiss Yashica T-AF 3.5/35 Tessar point and shoot. The other cameras were a Rollei 3003, a Minolta CLE and a Pentax P30 I picked up in a charity shop along with a 1.8/50 and an absolute dog of a Centon 28-70 Zoom lens for a few pounds.All the negatives were processed and scanned to CD at a 1-hour minilab just across the street from the famous Sutcliffe Gallery. I only tweaked the results and converted them to BW.Be like the people on the first shot - be nosy and take a look around the gallery and (hopefully) enjoy a walk around the fair town of Whitby.Comments and criticism are, as always, more than welcome.
