After I posted this black and white image taken from near the summit of Great Gable in the English Lake District a number of you wanted to know what the starting image looked like. Well here is it.
Looks great eh and you can immediately see how I turned it into the finished version above (only joking). If you can’t and want to know how I achieved the conversion, take yourself over to my Lenscraft website and register as a member – don’t worry it’s free. This entire conversion will be detailed in Summer 14 newsletter which I will be publishing shortly. Members receive an email notification when the newsletters published. You can also be sure that I won’t spam you as I HATE spam email.

This is very inspiring – thanks for showing the before and after photo!
No problem. I’m pleased you find it helpful.
WOW … what a transformation!
Thanks. It’s not quite as dramatic as it looks as the image has been purposely over exposed to maximise quality. There is a lot of information in the RAW file.
