Barn in Lafayette County © 2010 Bo Mackison
I used one of the art filters, black and white grainy, that are on the Olympus E-P1 (PEN) but much of the time the filters are a bit over the top for my preferences. So I modified the black and white tones in Lightroom.
I went to the Apple store last week for an in depth discussion on Aperture 3. After waiting for 6 months, Aperture 3 is out and finally there is support for the Olympus PEN cameras (and all the other micro four-thirds). I liked using the Aperture program before I purchased the PEN (and then no longer had access to it) and I’m considering getting the upgrade. It means another learning curve while learning to a new program. Sigh! And comes at a busy time for me, so I’m vacillating a bit.
I’ve got an appointment at Apple for next week…I’m thinking.
Very interesting photo. The tone and image feels out of space and time – depression era feel.
As to your musings on Aperture, i enjoy your work. However, i’m not a photo Geek. If the new and improved version gives you options you don’t have now, go for it when the crunch time has passed.
I thought this was a drawing at first glance. Very neat effect.
I like this rustic, grainy black and white as it works for the old barn scene.
