I went to New York last week with the idea in mind to photograph a few buildings. I decided to leave my best camera at home, and simply took a small digital. I knew that I wanted to take the photos in black and white, somehow street scenes seem so much more real devoid of colour. O
On my return a friend offered to show me a software package called "photoshop.". Now I'd heard of this but never experimented. First I removed the colour, then added a more grainy feel to several photos , finally I adjust the brightness and contrast. I'm amazed by the results.
Think I'll get them developed and may well frame a couple. I know its not a cheap piece of software but the end results are a "bit special".
