To make a great Black and White image you have to start with a great
color image. It is the complete and total mastery of the color image
that gives you the total control you need to create an extraordinary
Black and White one.
It is the way image structure is interperated in the Red Green and
Blue channel in the pure grayscale that offer the most profound
results when creating an image chromatic grayscale.
This image was captured by a Nikon D-600 with a 24-120 mm Nano
coated VR II lens using the Nikon electronic file format (.Nef) Shot
on Lexar 128 gigabyte Smart Media media. file was post processed using
capture NX 2.0 software, Nik Color Efex 4.0. The Chromatic grayscale
conversion was done using the multiple Silver Efex plug-in layer
approach discussed in Chapter 8 of my book "From Oz to
Kansas"
