Looking for gold...
Looking for gold - Huntington Beach by Puckman2012, on Flickr
I'd appreciate some C&C on this one. I usually don't do B&W conversions because I am not entirely sure I "see" the light correctly. Case in point. The treatment on this one is not up to par. I keep looking at it, but not really seeing how it SHOULD be treated.

I'm so confused!

Have you tried Silver Efex Pro? You can get a free trial version I believe.

I have not. Straight up LR conversion to B/W here.
The Mopedist by ALXPhotog, on Flickr
I was photographing something else when I saw this guy rolling down the street. I had very little time to react and frame, and no time to change settings. It's not the best photographic in the world, and I'm not thrilled with the composition, but I still think this photograph tells a story. And you gotta love his style.
Looks a bit like Michael Douglas.[url=https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3858/14741674289_b758a1224b_c.jpg]Image[/url]

Some explanations seem to be in order re: my post on POTD a few days back …
After Eddie lost the level……
Levels are used by carpenters and masons , among others , to ensure things are either parallel to the ground or perpendicular to it , parts of the walkway obviously are neither .
O.K. …..so who is Eddie ?
George and Marie’s eldest son ; worked in a shoe repair shop for a while but quit . Claimed it wasn’t in his soul (sole) . His parents were heartbroken , but everyone else knew it wouldn’t last ( Google shoemaker’s last)
No need for confusion ,the whole thing’s just a giant play on words . Sadly , it seems that the English spoken by those MR viewers in the UK differs more than I thought from the degenerated version spoken by us bumpkins over the pond in ‘Murica .
Particular apologies to those viewers whose language is other than English in any form .
Legal Disclaimer : Eddie , George , and Marie are fictitious characters . Any resemblance to any Irish band ; or to any person , living or dead ,especially those who can arrange for someone to kneecap me with a baseball bat , is purely coincidental and unintended .

Another day, another plane. Was playing around with the shutter speed on this one to introduce a bit of movement in the blades.

Comments always welcome.

A less honest man than yourself might have said 'I carefully calculated the shutter speed to introduce a pleasing curvature to the blades'.
Anyway, whatever the method the result does look cool.

Just in case, I want to clarify that I am not trying to push MR marketplace sales here. Merely sharing the creative processes while they're happening.
it's been immensely updated since yesterday.
loads of photoshop work thrown in this particular one, with the most challenging being somehow matching the light/shadow identity and the depth of field of the pics, masking things in nicely, and accomplishing an eye grabber with the cat & heli. Not THAT successful yet, but a step towards learning how to accomplish it. Lots of trial and error. A reminder that digital artsy fartsy is a hobby for me. I also decided not to go with the guns. They were so wrong on so many levels and not funny.
and because this is the theme I will be choosing the next time I win a two|one contest, make sure to cast a vote against me here : https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1756532/ and let someone walk away with my money.

It might be the lighting for the shot or my monitor Justin but the coffee looks quite orange to me.
