Challenge: Black and White in Color II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon PowerShot S500
Location: Killarney, Ireland
Date: Feb 22, 2008
Aperture: f/11
ISO: Auto
Shutter: 1/500
Date Uploaded: Feb 23, 2008

 This photo was taken on a chance detour while driving through Killarney, Ireland. The sun was close to setting and the view was just spectacular. This was shot against the son with -1 stop exposure to get a gray scale image. Then cropped and played around with the tone curve as well as the brightness and contrast to increase the darks/shadows and highlights.

nice silhouettes, they all have their own distinct shades which I love. The image looks a little grainy however, high ISO i presume?
