Stop what you're doing right now and take a photo

I swear I dont know how you do it!!! I try, and try and try and fail with shots like that.
I suppose practice will eventually make perfect

Nice, I love B&W

Thanks - I figured it suited the subject - cant have The Wall, at least not that segment, looking all bright and colourful can you.

I'm a big fan of Silver Efex Pro from Nik Software - gives you a lot of control when doing b/w conversions.

I have only used Color Efex Pro 3 in the past, but recently switched to Capture One 4 from Phase One which I am loving at this stage.

Its only been about a week that I am using it, so will only be able to give feedback at a later stage.

What an uninformative website - http://www.phaseone.com/4/

EDIT - http://www.dpreview.com/news/0712/07122004captureone4.asp - ok its a Lightroom/Aperture-esque photo management application from the look of it

LOL, I thought the same. You get a better picture when you watch the sample videos they have on the website.

Rouxenator: looks like after nuclear war.

 

[ldmelsa]

nice one Rouxenator

 

[Rouxenator]

Thanks ldmelsa. I have the other shot I took in the other thread - it feels a bit more clean cut than this one, but not as striking. Its a bit noisy since the phone automatically sets the sharpness to hard when you have the other settings the way I had them (landscape mode, high contrast).
