I converted to B&W in Nik Silver Efex Pro as I wanted to add in some grain to my conversion. I then played around with the colors in an attempt to add a sense of drama to the image. I ended up using blue and dark yellow for the duotone.
Exif: F Number: 8, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/100 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 800, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 100.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS-1D Mark IV

Thanks Lois! I use a lot of photoshop but Nik Silver Efex Pro is my favorite B&W converter. I did use Photoshop to get the toning for the image.Mike F. Anderson April 28, 2013

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
