Empire State Building from Hudson River
So, since I am sitting around waiting for my spinal inflammation to subside, I thought I would sit here on my pillows and work on some old photos while sipping on some coffee.
I'm still sorting through the folder that holds photos from our 2013 trip to Manhattan. I was using an old, crappy Olympus camera back then so I often left whole folders of images left untouched because I was so frustrated by the images. This was one of those folders.
After my experiences with two Olympus cameras, I don't ever want to use another Olympus camera for the rest of my life... the colors absolutely suck, white balance is always a problem, the noise is horrendous, the files are very shallow causing the image files to fall apart very quickly in post-processing... I just hate working with these files. I've found, however, that I can get some decent black and white images out of the files when color is my main problem as is the case with this particular folder of images.
The Empire State Building is one of my favorites so this photo caught my eye as I was sorting through this old folder. I also love the light shining on the yacht in the foreground. I brought out some detail in the clouds, added some tonal contrast, dodged and burned a few selective areas, and did some dehazing and added some clarity.
All in all, this is a pretty nice black and white image.
