14-24-First shots

With everyone getting new bodies, I think that separate section for you to proudly display your first image from your new acquisition is in order.

This applies to brand new bodies, as well as bodies that are simply newly acquired by you.

Big improvement after deleting the background. The church is shown off the way the architect intended. Like the sepia effect too.

Jim,

A good way to lose the people and cars would be to pull the ISO back as far as possible, maybe throw a ND filter on the front, stop down the lens and then shoot using an extended shutter time.

It's basically the same technique that you use to get the flowing water in landscapes.

Alternatively, the next step is to replace the cars with horses and carts, at least some with motion blur.

I really like the mono conversion....maybe content-aware fill may help!

Congrats on purchase.

Gary's idea to lose the cars is a great one.

gosh i love the B&W version, or is it a vintage mode? anyway, it just looks like the 30s and 40s style, but for sure without the cars :lol: :lol:
