Tell me how you mastering your black and white?
Film or digital?
Photoshop or laboratory?
Great shot Ashley!
Ashley Ng replied

Hi Norah
I’m working with a digital SLR (Pentax K10D) and do most of my conversions with Apple Aperture. It’s quite a lot of fun playing the the tone and mood of an image with different gammas, colour filters and contrast. This one was a photomerge with Adobe CS3 of 3 horizontal “panoramic” shots I took with correction of lens distortion and warping in CS3 followed by some modifications in Aperture (overkill – I could have done it all in CS3, but I like the speed of Aperture and I’m used to working in BnW there). Glad you like it!

Nice work, I dont like how you cant see EXIF data on this site :)

know what you mean…

Super cool Ashley. This panaramic is seamless. Very well put together. I assume you used the same exposure settings for all the shot to ensure that they all matched…I like the contrast very well controlled.
Ashley Ng replied

Thanks Ian – love the Photoshop CS3 “automated photomerge” feature. Very very good. Yeah – I locked the exposure to match exposures for the three captures – haven’t tried to see if different exposures work – knowing CS3, it may actually work…

Peter Zentjens

Brilliant shot Ashley, and a bonus point for shooting with Pentax! ;o)
On a more serious note: good job on the post processing, if you hadn’t mentioned it I would assume you used a fish eye.
Ashley Ng replied

Thanks Peter – and yes, I really do like my Pentax K10D…
(though more than happy to swap you for a Nikon D3 if you have one ;-P)
Peter Zentjens

nope, shoot the K10D myself too. :^p
Mark Tisdale

Fantastic! I would have guessed fisheye but read the response about the merging of multiple shots – wow! Well done!
Paul Tupman

This is grea work Ashley! Wish I had thought of this when I was there.. great angle on this and seamless work in PS. Very well framed and I love the detail of all the people. Another favourite!
