For most of the pandemic I have been taking courses at F64 Elite by Blake Rudis. April’s challenge is to submit 2 dramatic black and white images for a possible critique. I converted four in my archives, being sure to have some absolute black and white in each, and sent in the first two below. Blake also posts many free tutorials on YouTube. I am also enjoying PixImperfect tutorials by Unmesh Dinda on the YouTube.
Greenwood Cemetery, Brooklyn 4/29/2012 
High Line 5/8/2016 
Common Starling, Central Park 10/28/2016 
Court Chairs in the Mist 1/1/2000
These BnW images are stunning. Lighting is great!
Thank you for the link, I like Unmesh Dinda’s courses, just need to take time to learn and practice. 🙂
Your welcome. I find Blake to be more organized, thorough, and a better teacher. He has excellent foundation courses. Both are excellent.
Thank you for sharing, Sherry!
Good choices – My favourites are the cemetery and the starling
Thanks Derrick. Happy Easter.
You, too, Sherry
Wonderful photos, Sherry.
Thank you Dan.
Especially like the cemetery but they are all very good! 🙂
Thanks Tom. That my #1 too.
Great ones – love the cemetery.
Thanks Lela.
Greenwood Cemetery and Court Chairs in the Mist are loaded with atmosphere, Sherry
Thanks Sue. I didn’t think the Court Charis had enough dynamic range for the assignment. It has always been one of my favorite pictures. I needed to have images with very strong blacks and white though it does have atmosphere 🙂
You won’t get strong contrast in mist, Sherry!
That’s why I didn’t submit that one.
