m42 with a twist - did it in B&W

[h0ughy]

while learning to process in Images plus with some images I took on the 25th Feb of M42 et al, somehow I stuffed it (pretty easy really) and made a B&W image. 18 x 50 second images stacked iso 1600 modded canon 300d:screwy:

I think it looks really really nice! :eyepop: That's a great image Houghy. Reminds me of the good old days.

In fact I'll go as far as to say...I love that image!!!!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup: (no, I'm not pulling your leg either)

Superb.

Asi's right and I agree, I love it Dave.

Nice realism h0ughy. I still get a kick out of seeing B&W images like that.

[h0ughy]

I just dream I was viewing that through the 30 inch ;-);) :lol: :thumbsup:

David,

Mate, that is so beautiful.

I absolutely love the contrast. I can't stop looking!

I will have to try that once I get an ED80.

Well done, mate.

seriously very good h0ughy, superb tracking too :prey2:

[Hammerman]

Great shot, Houghy! I like B&W photos like this because without the color, the details seem to stand out even better. At least your attention is drawn to the detail more if you are not paying attention to the color.

[PhotonCollector]

Actually, I like the monochrome image ! Good tracking too. Well done.

Excellent Huffy. To me, the B&W version is quite appealing as that's closer to what I see with my eyes.:camera:

[Striker]

Nice work Houghy.

Your best so far.

[robin]

Goes to show Houghy that b/w is a timeless photographic medium.Fantastic pic mate.

[Itchy]

Well Done houghy!

I can't wait to see the colour version:whistle: :whistle:

How exactly did you "stuff it up"?

cheers

[tornado33]

[h0ughy]

I touched the gamma by mistake , actually just clicked on it, not moved it ,and it changed to B&W:shrug:

[h0ughy]

Very ordinary Ed, Very Ordinary:lol:

[h0ughy]

for the life of me I have tried 3 times since and the alignment feature wont work for me properly, I am doing something slightly different and I have no idea, I think I will have to watch the videos, I haven't done that yet for IP:lol:

[asimov]

Forget the colour! This looks better. :)
