Log Shanty in Black & White

ThirdDayImaging

Shot along Old Route 56, north of Salem, Indiana. Driving by, all that could be seen was the cabin itself, due to 6 foot tall reeds surrounding the pond. Something made me turn around - story of my life! A second look over the tops of all the reeds revealed some glassy water potential. So, off into the reeds I went, much to my wife's chagrin - lol!

Workflow unique to this image:
Started by desaturating in LR, and also some contrast/tone/clarity adjustments. Then converted to a TIFF in Silver Efex using the Fine Art Process template with several adjustments. Switched to the Kodak PanX film template and added a slight sepia tone. Went back into LR for some vignetting and final exp. adjustments.

Very nice conversion. Thanks for the description of your workflow--always interested in hearing how people do theirs.
