My wife and I had to drive down to Hollywood & Highland for a JDRF Lunch Benefit today so we cruised around afterwards and took a few pics. I decided to play around with B&W conversion so would appreciate some C&C since I don't do it often and am still learning.

Hope you enjoy them!

    Hi there, your B&W conversions are nice and rich with contrast clap.gif
    You've done really well, like I always say, there's no where to go but forward from here thumb.gif

    Last time I was in Hollywood would have been....
    ohhhhhh lets see.... 13 years ago headscratch.gif

    I don't remember much about it, guess it didn't really impress me ne_nau.gif

    You were lucky to come across those actors in your first shot,
    the character checking out the guy with the camera has a cool outfit.

    I like that last shot, B&W is fun to work with, keep it up,
    and thanks for sharing thumb.gif .... Skippy :D

    Thanks Skippy. Laughing.gif... those aren't exactly actors. They're actually pretty unsavory people. They dress in costumes and harass all the tourists. They're typical scam is they let you take a picture of them and they they harass you to pay them $5 for the picture you took. I have heard of them actually starting fist fights with tourists that refuse to pay them.

    Hollywood... same shady place, but with different actors.
