10/11/07 - A Better Black and White

I found some great tips in John Beardsworth's "Advanced Digital Black & White Photography". I strongly recommend it for any serious photographer wishing to produce high-quality B&W's. The most significant "take-away" for me was the ability to make better use of color channels to illustrate seperation of color in a purely grey-tone image.

Compare the above image to it's color version in my previous post http://sdrimages.blogspot.com/2007/10/10807-fall-portrait.html
