Paris and the Seine....part 2

If a software program will help me realize what I envisioned when I made a photo, I use it without reservation.  These images were process in Silver Efex Pro from Nik Software.

I find they come up like film processed in Rodinal developer from Agfa.  That's darkroom talk folks, from another era.

Still, I like the results. These are from Place de la Concorde, National Assembly, Champs Elysee and Notre Dame.

Tulip series version 12a....black and white photos

Here are the monochrome version of the recent tulip files.  I think they translate very well.  All were made from a finished colour version using LightRoom 4 and then Silver Efex Pro to convert to black and white.
