I've been wandering the net tonight, admiring the work of other black and white photographers. I noticed that alot of them blow out their highlights so I thought I'd give it a try myself.

Wow. Your whole gallery is outstanding. May I ask how you convert to black and white. Yours are the best I have seen. #2661783Amanda Price April 19, 2006
As usual, I'm behind on my thanks! I so appreciate all of your comments!Michelle, that's nice of you to say. I always use the channel mixer and adjustment layers for curves/levels/contrast now in case anything blows out and I need to erase it back. I didn't know anything about adjustment layers when I converted this, so I think I just used one layer to convert with the channel mixer and curves. I had this one printed and the blown (or blocked) shirt doesn't look bad, but I probably wouldn't convert this way on purpose anymore as I much prefer to see more detail now that I have a better feel for what I like. #2661914

Beautiful Amanda - I love the quality of the light was it just available light? Thanks for response re black and white conversion also got something from that..Amanda Price June 14, 2006
Thanks Tara. Yep, the light's coming from one north-facing window. #2897504Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
