Haven't shot anything new for a bit, so I reworked a few images this evening for fun. Gave the new Nik Suite a test drive. By the way, these are both places that we'll be visiting in June.

Impressive. Looks like my kind of place. Which tool did you use for the B&W conversion? How'd you like it? How did you shoot it to exaggerate the lily pads? High perspective or low? Did you use a forward tilt of the camera?

These are beautiful places, Jeff. Wish I could come in June. Stephen, I have the full NIK suite now, but originally I had just Silver Efx Pro and HDR Pro. I like them. Arthur is another one of our member that uses some of the NIK software. I know he could give you a pretty good background on them. I don't use any of them to the extent they can be used., but I do like them. They have sliders and control points. The control points let you pin point areas for enhancement.

This was last summer, June 16th to be exact (should be similar conditions while we are there this year), so I can't remember for sure, but based on the amount of water in the scene, I'd say high perspective (a lower perspective would have caused the water to appear more compressed). I used HDR Pro to bring out some detail in the image (the original is a bit flat), and then Silver Efx Pro for the conversion. I finished with some tweaks in Lightroom. I haven't played with the Nik stuff much, so I know that there's a lot to learn still. Here's a modified crop, removing the vertical reflection on the right.
