I shared some of these in the sharing section but wanted to get your thoughts in critique as well. I'm still interested in your thoughts on the B/W conversion and tonality (you may recall my posts of Texas street photography).
I followed the same process: camera set to monochrome (RAW+JPEG), in camera red filter, contrast boosted all the way this time (prev was one notch down), sharpness two notches down from max.
Black clipping added 2-3 pts in LR. Then dodging and burning in CS3 and some minor tweaking of the levels on the right side of the histogram.
I really feel with this set like I might be getting even closer to that TRI-X look I like, but even if it's not quite there yet, I enjoyed this session most of almost all my outings this year. And to think, I almost didn't go!
With the exception of the two ladies walking, these are self-portraits. I set the camera on the bridge ledge secured by my strap. Set it for f/22, prefocused, and used the countdown timer.
