I will have a go with mono on the second shot, see what it looks like. It's largely you that has got me onto monochrome - didn't really do any, until I saw some of your terrific B&W images.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692250389062665906.post-51175088505187124792010-03-13T14:18:37.445+00:002010-03-13T14:18:37.445+00:00I'll throw in my tu'pence worth.
I think t...I'll throw in my tu'pence worth.<br />I think the 'tilting' is a great device, but probably works best when done 'in camera' at the time of taking the shot. I say that because when I have used the software to do that I have noticed two things; 1. you lose some of the original shot as the tilting crops the shot and the more you tilt the more you lose.2. The 'tilted' shot tends to lose some of the fine definition because of the way the software does the tilting.<br />I think the second shot would make a good subject for rendering in black & white; in photoshop I would increase the exposure a little so that the yarns don't go grey in monochrome, and increase the contrast a bit in photoshop. That isn't needed in the colour shot, but would be effective in monochrome. There you go, it's 'mouthy' me again.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05697994929567403766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5692250389062665906.post-23289151807503360562010-03-12T23:48:59.883+00:002010-03-12T23:48:59.883+00:00I too prefer the top image.

My father started his working life as a bobbin-ligger in a mill in Bradford and I am sure that my mother once told me she used to work on a roving machine. As for the photographs, the first one is certainly visually more appealing whilst the second is more informative. The lesson, of course, use both.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.com
