[Leica] Storm clearing Yosemite - Now B&W

[kcarney1 at cox.net (Ken Carney)]

They are excellent images either way IMHO.  Most of my pre-digital photo
background is in large format b&w, so I'm somewhat prejudiced.  Although, I
will admit that color is probably here to stay :), especially in 6188, my
favorite.  I typically use Nik Silver Efex Pro for b&w conversion and play
with the filters and sometimes "film" stock until I get what I want.   I
have Alien Skin and DxO also and they work pretty well.


Best regards,

Thanks Ken, Geoff, Ric and Rob, Jayanand and anyone else I have not read 
yet,  for commenting.   Taking Ken's words, I converted them to B&W.  My LR 
skills in this area have not had much practice, but I posted them alongside
the originals.  Here is the first

The other three are by the originals in the folder.

Hope they please.

comments welcome.

Aram
