You have done a great job with that Bod, both with the photography and the b&w conversion. It really manages to convey the scene well and show the dereliction. [smilie=t:

That actually Bod's patio after we spent 30mins cleaning it up and giving it the retro refit. Next week we will be doing the retro look on EosD's garden shed

Thats not a problem..purple is close to pink which just happens to be Bods favourite colour
In fact he has mastered the B&W conversion now so colour is a minor issue.

Thanks guys, I will admit, this is pretty much the shot that I had in mind.
I said to Steve at the 'scene', that I think it would look good in black and white, with some added noise, contrasty and grainy.
And when I got home, I just threw it into photoshop and converted it, had a very quick fiddle with the brightness/contrast and levels (30 seconds), then another 30 seconds with the noise filter.
More luck than judgement, I think is a very befitting phrase here.
I'm also quite pleased that I think it's the first time I haven't had to crop an image. I tried to fill the frame properly rather than be a chicken and step back a little 'just incase'.

BW'd with the Lab Mode / Lightness method, and some noise added (Uniform monochrome, around 9%). Bordered.
No cropping at all. As shot.
Cries of "rubbish!!!" always welcomed
Bod... I hope that's not your house
Very atmoshperic shots.... gives me a bleak, despondent feeling, which I suppose was your intention. I like it, and th eother one of the old cooker (same one as in teh background?)
