Canon EOS Rebel | f4.5 | 1/60 | ISO 200
Got nuthin’ really outstanding this weekend to share for Creative Exchange Week 3 so I’m pulling one I took when Peanut was born. Originally in color, I thought it would make more of a statement in black and white. When converting digital color shots to black and white, I use the Image>Mode> Lab Color setting in PhotoShop and select Lightness in the Channels menu. I find it gives me better contrast. From there, I go to Image>Mode>Grayscale. Through Image>Adjustments> Levels, further contrast can be achieved if necessary. For the finale, I use Filter>Sharpen>Unsharp Mask until I get the sharpness that looks best.

I love it. My son took a picture of second grandson’s feet and then printed the photo on cloth used for embroidery – I wish I could remember it’s proper name. This was back in the days of film when he did his own developing.

I used to be a huge film fan, but am now 100% digital!

I saw this photo on Lisa’s White Cotton Tee and I had to take a sneak peek.
It’s lovely and I like it a lot!
Hope to see you again on the Creative Exchange
