The Ghost Town of Dalmorton in Black & White

Thought I would have a play around in Photoshop just to see what this picture would look like in Black & White.

I used a Chalk and Charcoal effect. Please let me know what you think!

Dalmorton in Northern New South Wales, was once a thriving, rowdy community of 5,000 people and 13 pubs living off the proceeds of a great, but brief gold rush in the 1850’s and 1860’s.

The scenery around Dalmorton is spectacular with the Boyd River nestled among high forested slopes. Not far from Dalmorton is the “Historic Tunnel” which is a site to see.

The Ghost Town of Dalmorton in Black & White belongs to the following groups:

Black and White Photography, Don't Fence Me In and Rural NSW

    Thanks Ginny – appreciate your opinion. I just thought I’d try B&W. I also think the colour is better.
