I could not help but share this photo - a cow with something to hide? :roll:

CC welcome on the other three, especially the B&W conversion, I have not done very many B&W conversions in the past.

B&W Conversion

What was a flop of a sunset :cry:

but had to make the most of what I had!

Light at the end of the tunnel?!

Biggery, that first one is a cracker, very different. It feels as if it may have commercial value for an add campaign or similar

nice shots, my B&W conversions are lousy.. do you use a particular filter or follow someone's procedure (eg Greg Gorman)?
the first one has a stark feel to it, the 4th one has more of a hopeful feeling to it - in line with its title. great work!

add campaign or similar

maybe I will pitch it to the owner of the farm to advertise his cows..... ta for the comment!

do you use a particular filter or follow someone's procedure (eg Greg Gorman)?

I first read that as 'Greg Norman' and thought wtf?! thoughts of expensive boats and golf flooded my mind!

...but no I just used the black and white conversion thing in NX, fiddled with the sliders a bit but ended up with just the default conversion.

oddly enough the last image is not converted, that picture is actually a colour one gone horribly wrong...or right?! I was trying to capture the van door (on the right)!

my B&W conversions are lousy

I have only ever converted a couple and only recently, i think half the game is to pick the photo for converting....
ty also for the comments

Biggery,
Did you shoot the sunset in RAW?

Try doing a HDR conversion on this shot and see if it stands out a bit more

Did you shoot the sunset in RAW?

Try doing a HDR conversion
