I did not really feel like I had finished with Paris
So I converted some of my photographs to Black and White.
I was looking for that grainy gritty romantic notion of paris I have always had in my head.
I think Paris really lends its self to B & W and I think its always how I pictured Paris before I went there.

Moody and magical, I think you have captured Paris very well. Pavements at night sparkling after rain 🙂
Thank You for your great comment
Reblogged this on CitraGran Cibubur.
Very striking B&W conversions. I’d be interested in knowing something about the conversion process used.
HI I use a programme called Lightroom for my conversions, one of the people who gives me inspiration is Serge Ramelli a French Photographer. Check out one of his Tutorials here if you are interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qoBkeQBeDMuite he is amazing with his craft
Mike
Excellent – I use Lightroom but I didn’t know of Serge Ramelli’s videos and blog, so thanks!
Agree, Paris looks romantic and somewhat eternal in B&W… There are certain landscapes in nature that simply look better in B&W as well. Great series of shots!
Thanks so much
Gives it a whole new feel…!
Thank you
I think its great that B & W can do that and give a picture a new dimension
beautiful B & W pictures dear Mike
Thank You so Much
Your support is so great
oh dear please
I have to say your support is far more greater dear 🙂
thank you
I have dreamed about this city for years…your images make it even more beautiful.
Thank you so much, I was the same and it took me a long time to fulfil now i just want to go back !
One day
Thanks again
Mike
The first image is very familiar, in fact posting a (color – (sorry)) photo of the love locks just a week or two ago. But you are right, the B&W imagery is so…Paris! Thanks for the glimpse. M
I have just had a look at your Picture all great.
and I am sure some people would like the second option ? Ha
Thanks
Yes, there is more than one way to drift into a photograph. I might mess around a bit with converting some of my images as well. Thanks for your inspiration. M
The empty sidewalk to the right of the cafe ads a very intriguing story to the 2nd photo. Very nice.
Thank you again for your great comments
Mike
Truly amazing black and whites!
Thank you so much Cynthia
you are very nice to say so
Mike
I really love the photos of Paris taken by you in black & white.
Outstanding job.
How can I shoot in black and white on my Nikon DSLR 2300? Are you familiar with how to do it?
I really love the look of the black & white stills or sepia tone and would love to experiment around.
Paulette Motzko
Thank you Paulette for your lovely comment.
Paulette I use a program called Lightroom to convert my Photographs, some camera’s do have setting you can change to be able to shoot black and White but this can be a lot more work playing around than using a programme like Lightroom or Photoshop.
Hope this helps a little
Mike
What is your personal recommendation between the two?
I want a program that will allow me to put on text with tons of fonts and shape the text around a dinner plate.
I am creating what will be the logo for CARestaurantShowCase.com.
Once again Mike, your black and white stills make me want to break my rule of not going to France because of the crappy way they treat Americans. 😉
Paulette Motzko
I guess being Australian I did not notice how they treat Americans in France but I am sure you would Love it. With a Programmes it sound like you want something Like Photoshop though its quite expensive. There is an alternative called GIMP that is free but make take some time to master. There is plenty of tutorials on you tube though. For me its Lightroom.
PS break your rule its an amazing place
Mike
I am not a phot critic but your work is so beautiful…what you’ve done with the light is awesome.
Thank you so much I relay appeciate your comment it means alot to me that people like my work. Thanks again
Mike
Very nice B & W shots, I agree that it really does suit Paris….looks great
Lance Perryman
Thank you Lance
Its such a great city to Photograph
Mike
I like your positioning the camera (maybe your person also) outside the railing to get this image.
Beautiful, I will have to live through pictures, I don’t think world travel is in my future. Who knows…
You never know whats around the Corner
I truly hope you get to tavel \.
Thank you for your wonderful comment
Beautifful dimensional depth in these shots.
Thank you very much very kind of you
