Shadow lines by the Upper Falls - BW

 

I took the 6x12 to Letchworth last Friday with three frames left on the roll. I had three specific locations in mind, all places that I had photographed many times but not with this camera. I used a standard tripod instead of the usual stubby. This is the third of the three, at the Upper Falls.

 

You get two versions of this one, each with the other as alternate. One of my @deviantart cohorts asked about sepia, in his own inimitable way. I promised an example in the next scanning run.

 

I scan black and white negatives as color positives then desaturate and invert in the Gimp. With my particular setup that give me much better tone range than if I scan as black and white negatives. I skipped the desaturation step for the second version, which leaves a sepia tint when I flip from negative to positive.

 

Desaturation is the first step in the process, so I did the rest of the workup for each image independently.
