Liverpool Parade, alternate angle

[cyKey]

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.

I don't quite get what you mean.

Well your colour shots seem to have some really nice processing done to them, the general 'style' of them seems very similar to the results i got from using the action that you posted earlier, i was just wondering if you used that action but altered it some way to get the great processing that you achieved on the colour shots. Hope this makes more sense

Great action, I'll enjoy playing with it! Got any other good ones to share?

Thx

Great shots as always cyKey, cool angles and photo pop contrast processing
My only comment would be photo #3 framed slightly to the right

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

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've been saying the same thing to DRZ

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

Thanks guys

i'll go along with the others and say that DRZ's shots are more impressive. I think the fact that some of your shots are desaturated takes the life and energy out of the images.

thanks for sharing though

Your Black and White photos really "Steal the Show"

I'll practice the Action in PS
