Boots and umbrellas 2

Any comments welcome

Very nice and funny image but I would add much more contrast -- so that the good points of this pic would come out more clearly. I hope you don`t mind that I tried that, I added an attachment to this comment. Very nice picture, anyway:)

Hi Johanna,

Thank you for your comments, I do appreciate your version, the thing I am finding the hardest at the moment is black and white conversion so any advice, examples are appreciated!

cheers

I know what you mean, b & w is not an easy form of photographing. Somehow it`s easier than photographing colourful images (at least for me) because it`s very difficult to reach the delicate balance of various different colours in the exactly right way. But even when there`s only two colors to use (black and white) it`s very hard to reach good balance between the different tones of gray. I`m not professional, but I`ve learned that it`s almost always better the more tones you have in the image. If there`s only one or two tones of gray it just looks plain and boring and unintense. I muself have a lot to learn about that too, but if you want take a look at my portfolio and the folder "black & white". There you can see how I?ve tried to learn how to get balanced b&w images.

Good luck with your learning!

I agree with Joanna about the contrast.. i love touching photos and turning them into B&W.. it's just practice...

I'll see how I can help u with B4W conversion.. see u soon
