Film Simulation & Monochrome
First time trying out the Silver Efex Pro 2 in Nik Collection (Black and White Film), thinking of having a start on B&W photography.
Any comments?
I'd love to hear from you guys :-D

Austin, Texas Blue Hour
Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.
Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Two from Tenerife
My two favourite images from my recent night time adventure in Tenerife. Foregrounds and skies were shot separately and blended in PS.

Any interest in this group?
Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

Silver Efex is certainly a great tool to use for B&W conversion. As with any other work it is important that the initial subject and composition are sound.
I like the minimalistic approach to this. If it were mine I would play about with cropping to see if I could squeeze anything out of it.
Just included something for comparison, but obviously go with what feels best for you.
Thanks for your comment! The only reason I didn't crop this your way in the first place is that I wanted to conceal the fact that the perspective is impossible to correct (on the right part of the image there is a slight slant in the building). Anyways, thanks for your opinion, and I haven't even thought of it as minimalist until you posted this!
