I went down to the fire station today (rural) I was bored and needed some pics to play around with before I went out tonight, I thought something like this would be cool.

My helmet is the 3rd one along  PS, yes I've taken quite a liking to black and white lately

comments and critique appreciated.

Michael not as good as your recent b&w's yet I still like it.

Yeh I was quite bored and I thought what the hell something different.

Im going to a house warming tonight thats going to be filled with young people I all know very well, I hope to get a few shots at that to muck around with in B/W.

I like it!

There's always things we'd personally do a little differently though, for me I'd maybe crop the top+left a little, or try burning in the top right to highlight the light falling on the helmets.

I'd be tempted to add a bit of noise to the pic as well

Piro

Are you saying the D200 at ISO 800 isnt noisy enough for your likings

optogamut: I burnt in a few places on the image and it looks alot better thanks for the recomendation.

In a word - No

I thought about adding noise but I thought there would be sufficient noise there from using ISO 800 disappointed by my new toy once again.

Your new toy is broken - gimme

Did you have in camera NR turned on?

No I turned in camera High ISO noise reduction off as soon as I got it.

I really like it Michael. Well composed and a great b/w conversion.

nicely done... works well in b&w.

cheers

hi

i also like it, the b/w is great, unfortunalty my eyes really are attracted to the writting on the wall becuase of the darkening of the corners

i still like it
