Its gone, it was just a matter of time.......

[Bill Huber]

Last year about this time I was working on doing B&W conversions. I found an old barn that I really liked and did a bunch of shot of it.
They came out well I think and I had some blown up to 16x20 and framed, they came out really nice.

Well I was by there the other day to do some more shots with the E1, the last time I used the E-10 and its gone, just a big pile of junk ready to burn, they are getting ready to build houses on the land, it is kind of sad to see it go. I know time has to move on but it was a neat old barn and for me some good photo ops.

Here is the gallery

very nice conversions
w3hat settings and how did you do them. mine usually come out too flat.

This was my really high tech way of doing it.

Desaturate, adjust the contrast and that is it.

I have some different actions that I have been using but am not sure which ones I like.
I have been using this plugin and it is doing a really good job as of late.

bill, as good as your images are i think they could a litte more punch to them. i've done practically 0 in PS with b&w .
do you mind if i give it a try. these have such great tonal variatuon that i think theyed be fun to work with.
better yet could you post the color shots.

bill that would be great. i don't have anything in digital that would work very well in B&W. these are outstanding pix for me to work with, but i'd like to start at the beginning. upload them and post back here-i'll grab them and then you can delete. i'm on dsl, if you know what i mean.
