Tower hotel 31/50: Main entrance

Tower hotel 31/50: Main entrance
After long time I installed LightZone for Linux software again on my laptop, to see if it could give me some new perspectives on this Tower hotel series of mine. It is far less advantageous than Nik Collection Silver Efex Pro, but as a Ubuntu Linux user (at my home laptop), I have to get along with what works on Linux.

Here I have run filter called 'Alien Infrared', with default settings, and it alone gives some new ways to alter black and white images.

And lesson learned this weekend. Do not use camera presets to record images directly on black and white! Shoot always in colors to be able to adjust color filters afterwards on photo editor.

UPDATE: After getting some feedback elsewhere, I must say the ideal would be to shoot "JPEG+RAW (with black and white JPEG scene preset)", if the camera, computer's processing power, and memory space available makes it possible ;-)

Ich finde das Ergebnis sehr stimmungsvoll und technisch detailreich. Was wirkt hier bedrohlicher, der alte Gebäudeteil, der überragende Neubau, der Himmel? Eine Farbversion kann das m.E. nicht bringen.
PS: Ich würde es auch nie der Kamera überlassen, Bilder in s/w aufzunehmen. Damit würde ich mir eigene Interpretationsmöglichkeiten beschneiden!

So true, Gisela! I tested the 'Black and White Scene' mode on my Canon, for Saturday Self Challenge, and it was alright for that one shot. But never again!

Great in b/w ! A totally other character of picture as in color ! A little bit mysterious and very nice !

Really? That's the entrance? So, it was originally an old hotel. I've used the B&W setting in my camera only once. You're so right about the doing it later in editing!

The hotel is actually built "around" (inside and behind) of an old railway roundhouse. The reception is behind that old tower, and conference space is built inside the the rooms where locomotives were serviced and stored. I may take an overall shot some day to show the surroundings.
