Hi John I tried to download it last week but it just stopped downloading so I'll try it again .

[attachment=6198]Here you are Silver Efex Pro nailed into lightroom well there is certainly a lot of choice
I found an old bottle of sepia toner and dunked the printer in it. I think the coming weeks will be spent looking at a computer screen, but this week end I'm going to a heavy metal concert 'well Bovindon Tank Museum' where they will be rolling out the Tiger Tank and other WW11 beasties then spending Sunday morning trying out the AK47 & the SLR and making some holes in some targets.

When I went to the Bovington Tank Museum last October, nothing was moving that day. So photography was made more difficult with all the extraneous museum stuff around the exhibits, and so I chose to get fairly close compositions. Nevertheless, it's a great place to visit, lots of vehicles on show, very interesting. Here are two, the old and the newer - 1st is a Mark II WW1 Tank, and I think the 2nd is a Challenger Tank; no doubt someone here will know.

Hi Phillip
It's nice there are two Pentaxians on here !
They're letting the Tiger loose today & the Firefly so it should be a very busy day.

Get's better. Ed.

Yes Doug, we have chosen well! If you haven't yet seen it, I have commented here:
http://www.shuttertalk.com/forums/Thread...3#pid90913
but I now have a K-5 IIs and a K-S2.

Hope you have a great time with the tanks and other weapons - it will be good to see a few of your photos, perhaps start a new thread for military vehicles?

Cheers.
Philip

the weather has been lively lately!

A while since I have done any Black & White.

Well that makes two of us then John. Still very new to B&W. The colour version was taken in 2012 with my then Coolpix P500.
1/800sec @ f/ 4.5, ISO 160. 4mm ( 23mm equiv ). Converted to B&W using Silver Efex Pro 2.

No information about when and how it was captured, and how the final image was produced?

I like the composition, but perhaps the processing should visually separate the structure from the background a bit more?

Cheers.
