So. I came up with this B&W technique that I really like

[F.Gordon]

Snapped the same place as a previous one. Didn't like it cause it looked too much like the other one. Sooo.... I started playing around with a new (for me anyway) B&W technique. Nevermind the trees. I know they are a distraction.

Do you like this B&W "style"? If you don't .... piss off...
:hi:

Seriously... does it work for landscapes? I'm itching to get into the high country so I can use this technique. Hope I kept good enough notes so I can replicate it.

1. I like it........................but

it only counts if you share the technique in detail. I really do like it but it is cruel to say "new B&W technique" and say what it was. :evilgrin:

2. What??!!! And give away my "secrets"

:wow:

:evilgrin: :dunce:

Basically adjusted/played the yellow cast to even out the color of the rockie thingies on the right side. HIGH contrast. A cup of sugar, 2 cups of flour, a tablespoon of cinnamon, and a pinch of nutmeg.

3. No Rum? (added on edit)

Was making Hot buttered rum earlier and you did list some of the ingredients. Thanks for the links, off to follow them now. I haven't had a chance to go out and try the new IF filter yet. Too wet or cold for me.

4. Rum?

:banghead:
This photogramerical stuff is soooo complicated. How could I forget the rum?

Come to Colorado. It was like 70 today. Sunny. Would be perfect for doing IR. I finally got my B&W film now I'm waiting on my color slide stuff (from NJ/PA) .... and I'll be dead before I see my Infrared developed.
