Disney Hall

John Krill: Disney HallI may be going overboard with all this B&W conversion stuff but the Disney Hall does look good in B&W doesn't it?

CalTrans Atrium

John Krill: CalTrans AtriumI've always enjoyed using Black & White film. Almost always Tri-X. But with digital cameras I haven't converted much to black & white because I just didn't like the look.

Then came Lightroom 4. I actually didn't do anything other than select the Black & White preset 'B&W Look 2.'

I do some Basic adjustments in the Develop module after I've converted to B&W but usually they're minor.

Next time I go to downtown Los Angeles I may shoot everything with converting to B&W in mind.

Why I Take MetroLink

John Krill: Many Faces Of L.A.$9 for all day parking. And a round trip on Metrolink for this senior is only $10.

Spent the day downtown and the total price was $25.

And when I got back home I was still ready to party.

Father Of The Bride

John Krill: Father and BrideThe wedding is down below on the beach. Nice setting. Father and Bride waiting to make their entrance. And the longer they waited the hotter it was getting.

Rock Pile Beach - Update

John Krill: Rock Pile BeachThat's right the beach is full of rocks. You can't see them right now but later when the tide is out it's solid rock. Also the view in this photo hides several very large rocks.

Surfers only at Rock Pile.

[Update: June 16, 2012] Been staring at this photo for a while and just now I realized why it was bothering me. The rock out cropping, in the upper right corner, looks to me like a Bear's head. It's mouth open. If not a Bear then what?
