I just have been playing around with a few images that I took yesterday with the intent on going monochrome. I have used Capture NX2 and adjusted the colour hue which was used for the B&W conversion.

Long black....with milk on the side (sorry I added the milk with the last bit of coffee)


Lindt's do on a Black Forest - I think this image is a bit too contrasty myself and am thinking why I didnt snap a 2nd shot before we dug into it


St Mortiz....yummy


What do you all think about the conversions? Any comments will be greatly appreciated

I love the conversions. The images look like conventional B&W wet film....nostalgia overcomes me! I also love your use of light. Very classical!

Thanks Matt! I would hazard to say shooting that poor little D60 at Hi 1 would further improve the film look....maybe next time.

As for the lighting I have to thank the overcast/grey days and my beloved 50mm f/1.8...available light...so nice when you nail it.

I agree with Matt. The timeless feeling is great in these.

$27 well spent . At least from a photo opportunity point of view.

The last cake is somewhat lonely I feel....

I agree with Matt, the B&W conversions look great. Not too contrasty. I do however feel the first image has too little DOF. it just seems a bit claustrophobic to me. But overall, nice work.

The food images make me feel hungry right now Cameron, beautiful.
