Sunday in the city

[Grumpy John]

My wife had tickets to see a Jersey Boys tribute show at Crown Casino, so i took the opportunity to make a trip into the CBD to take some photos.
All images converted using NIK Silver Efex.

You did what you had in mind in #1. Not sure I like the effect it had on the clouds. The black and white images reminded me of the Ilfachrome days.

[Grumpy John]

Thanks Hans. A 5 minute exposure is always going to have an effect on clouds, depending on how fast they're crossing past as to what effect you end up with.

[Isac]

That's when you take one fast exposure as well as the long exposure, so you can blend the 2 using masks.

[MJ224]

I quite like the clouds actually. I am not a keen B/W fan, but these work well. I think the mellow tones make the city look kind and attractive. I like the 3rd best.

[Isac]

You've done well using all that gear John to get the effect you were after. Well done. #1 for me, nice clean shot. Will you post the colour versions? Be nice to see how NIK worked his magic.

[Grumpy John]

Thanks for the feedback Isac. There is a hint of people on the left of the bridge.

[HansE]

They must have been a bit slow
