A photo taken 7 years ago near Binalong Bay, north of St Helens on the east coast of Tasmania. This was taken as a colour photo with my Leica X1 but earlier this week I decided to convert it into black and white and to submit it to the Leica Fotografie online Gallery. It has been accepted as one of their Coastline shots.
Converting it into black and white in Silver Efex Pro4 software changes the mood of the photo. The colour original below shows a calm scene on a rather flat summer's day. The black and white version is more atmospheric with clouds which have a hint of being threatening. Having said that I much prefer the original colour version. To me the black and white is somewhat contrived-it is a scene I did not see.
