This is a more thoroughly processed image. I started with a conversion in Capture NX, trying to capture the most information in the color image. Then in Photoshop I created the independent conversion layers that Vincent Versace describes in “Welcome to Oz”. My intent was mostly to create a well graded and fully toned black and white image. The rest of the PS work was to bring out the light that was in the scene, using some selective sharpening using Nik’s program.
All in all it’s a less casual, more controlled approach than shooting with the Leica and a C41 process BW film like Kodak CN400BW.
