Same scene, false color

These pictures come from different processing, all of them, including the B&W from the last post, from the same original picture.

This one below is somehow my favorite from this batch; I especially like the similar but different tones of the path on the ground and the grassy area around.

The more surreal colors in the one below make it also attractive, although it is somewhat similar to the duotone from the previous post.

A different processing technique, although it does not have enough punch for my taste.

Between the color and the B&W renditions, I would take the B&W for this particular picture as my favorite.

New camera, new pictures

These new pictures have been taken with a new Nikon D-60 modified by Life Pixel using their Enhance Color filter after removing the standard IR filter. I have to say that I am more pleased with these results than the pictures that I got from my older D-40 although I believe a good part of the problem was the inability of the D-40 to modify the white balance in a controlled way.

All these five images are the result of monochrome processing from the same picture. The one below is the result of a direct grayscale conversion.

These two images come from discarding a color channel or adjusting the channel mixer for a monochrome output:

A sepia filter in the monochrome image gave me this result:

And playing with doutones for the same monochrome image gave me this one:

It is hard to say which one I like the best. Also, because of the Enhance color filter, the results do not seem too spectaular in B&W images. Maybe the light in the scene didn't help too much either. But the duotone, the last one, seems to be the one I like the most from this set. Next time, some color processing from the same picture.
