Liverpool Parade, alternate angle

cyKey · 7 Aug 2006 at 10:49

As you've seen from DRZ's excellent shots there was a parade on Saturday in Liverpool. I whipped out the 100-400 and we waited with the other photographers there. However, I didn't like the angle as the sky was overcast. I didn't want bright white clouds. So I took off the 100-400, which DRZ then claimed, and ran across the road to get a different angle. So this is what I got.

Some great shots Pete - expecially like the B&W examples.

What settings do you use for conversion on them?

Question: I love the b/w effect, but how did you get that kinda effect but still keep the image in colour?

I don't quite get what you mean.

Excellent shots there Pete. I think I prefer DRZ's, but only cos I opened his thread first and got the added 'Wow' factor.

I've been saying the same thing to DRZ

How do you get all that eye contact???? I really like the groups of people, rather than the ones singled out too. It shows some form of interaction, which I like. Nice set of shots, Pete and well done for trying something different

I think its because I was by myself and was very visible to the passing parade.

Thanks guys
