An old neighborr and friend (Pisti) is helping me with B&W processing. I took a basic shot after skiing Wildcat of Mt Washington looking into the Tuckerman Ravine. Nice light, I thought, so I took an automatic shot off the Fuji for experimenting. Click through to the gallery shots. First up is a basic desaturated in darktable, using the building in monochrome module. Not bad I think. The next image is a blend of a GIMP c2g image over a basic desaturated image using a blending mode called DARKEN/LUMA. The final ( I guess I should post the original and the c2g version as well) is blended in GIMP from the same two layers but using PINLIGHT. Garish!
Let me know thoughts.
