Mirza Ahmad Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Sky Streams ..... Hello all, I have been playing about using the threshold tool in GIMP to convert some of my captures into black and white. I took a few captures of some trees at our local park and was quite pleased with the outcome. Here are the colour versions if you're interested: http://ahmad.zenfolio.com/p820284031/h36f2cfb2#h36f2cfb2 http://ahmad.zenfolio.com/p820284031/h36f2cfb2#h362ce617 Whilst out taking the captures I thought they would make some nice BW prints. However, using my normal technique (aka as trial and error with the channel mixer and levels), the images still did not stand out as much as I would have liked them to. So I decided to check out the Threshold tool and liked the conversion which, whilst not being strictly traditional, is a more striking composition. Comments encouraged, let me know what you think. For an explanation of the Threshold Tool, click here regards, Mirza www.ahmadphotography.com Nov 28, 2008 at 10:55 AM

santos Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: On p.1 #8 · Sky Streams ..... A beautiful set, especially the first image: it is confusing, challenges one hard to find references within, and has some fine abstract and impressionnistic qualities. santiago Nov 30, 2008 at 08:54 AM

Albert Taylor Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Sky Streams ..... Again I defer to sanitiago's comment. The post processing is fitting in this case in my opinion. Dec 01, 2008 at 02:18 AM

lazlo369 Offline Dedicated FM Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Sky Streams ..... Using Threshold worked well with these images, make them look very stark and gave them a kind of semi-abstract look Dec 01, 2008 at 11:42 AM

Mirza Ahmad Offline Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Sky Streams ..... Thanks for the comments santos, Albert, & Lazlo. I was trying to convey more than just branches, looks like I succeeded. Thanks for looking. Mirza Dec 02, 2008 at 01:20 AM
