Welding

[Toddyh]

Not usually one to try black and white but thought it suited this.

I agree the b&w works well. Inwould crop off the items on the right to focus attention on the welder.

[Toddyh]

Thanks Alan. Something like this?

[seaslug]

That's good Toddy. Works well. (Pardon the pun)

[wigz]

The crop looks good to me

[Toddyh]

Thanks guys

I like the PP Todd and the second one is a vast improvement. Nice job.

[Toddyh]

Thanks Greg.

I kept coming back to this Todd because I was thinking it needed SOMETHING to give it some oomph! Then it came to me that it may need to look a bit more "grungy". I hope you don't mind

[Toddyh]

Don't mind at all. What did you do?

[Isac]

I do it in Photoshop. I load all JPG files into Camera Raw first, so I can do my enhancements. For this one, I made the following adjustments In Camera Raw:

Basic:

Sharpening:

Then just sharpened it in PS Amount:50% / Radius:2.5 Pixels / Threshold:5.
Quick way to get a grunge look on a B&W.

Thanks Greg. I'll have to give that a go myself in Lightroom.

Post the results if you get it to work Todd.
