Photo Challenge: Black & White


It’s time for another Brenda Photo Challenge! The current theme is Black & White. I decided do a little playing with digital imaging techniques for this challenge. Using Photoshop, I changed one of my photographs of Bryce Canyon National Park and created several black and white versions.

  3. That is an awesome image to begin with but I just love all of the conversions. I think the infrared one is my favorite. I may have to go do some playing around today and try some of those filters out.

  22. I never thought of converting a color picture to black and white but I have adobe photoshop elements so I could. I have never used the program to its full potential.
