CC: Baby Picture

[King_Boru]

Afternoon chaps,

Starting to get to grips with this digital photography thing so I decided to take the camera with me to the 'Trimley Carnival' today. My baby girl loved it and it was a great opportunity to take natural photos of her. C&C welcome (hopefully my monitor is callibrated properly as it looks alright this end :S)

Thanks,

King.

EDIT: I am looking to get this printed onto a canvas for my partners 25th b-day present. So it needs to be spot on .

I like the pic but imo the b+w conversion is a bit flat, its more grey than b+w.

How did you convert it as it looks like a desaturation rather than chanel/lab mode - both give better results imo

I used the desaturate option with a other options to get it to look the way I wanted. Namely, Levels, B/C, some touch up, paint tool and some others...Unfortubately I have never used lab mode. Can you elaberate on that for me?

I can see what you mean by it being gray aswell however I am finding it difficult to adjust this without making areas too highlighted or shadowed.

Dont know if this possible but can you shoot in B/W straight on the camera? It would be far easier to pop a B/W film in there but thats going backwards I am trying to go forwards in tech!

King.

I have taken all your comments in and read the links provided, much appreciated. I have had a bit more of a tweak. Which I feel is a lot harsher image over the softer one before... I still need to find an inbetween which I feel will work better. Anyways, let me know your thoughts.
