On the Beach, Circa 1990

and I know the main subject splits it down the middle, but darn it...

I like it this way. ;-)

its someone on a beach....and?

 

hey if u like it thats all that matters right?

Sometimes a nice b&w image of good tonal range with nice gradations and textures is just that.

Nice contrast

Hi Steve, here's a variation, cropped and contrast adjusted to place focus on the subject in relation to foot prints.

I did 0 manips on this photo. I see when it gets lightened the noise really jumps out (white specks and grayness). I like your crop better than mine. I knew splitting lake and sand with person would have compositional issues but still went with full-frame as shot look. Thanks again.

It seems like the image is suffering slightly from scanning descripances.

I only adjusted curves in the attachment bellow...does this do the image more justification?

 

 

Your image seemed to make a slight difference for the better. Thanks for showing me!

 

Steve

Glad it did the image more justification. As I've learned, no matter what scanner you use, you'll still need to mess aroudn with curves / levels to get the correct contrast and brightness level (and color / saturation for color photos).

You're right. Was doing that again this morning -- playing with levels. Makes a diff.

 

r,
