1. My dear Adsos Letter!

This is a lovely detail of the arch.

I am admiring the different medallions!

I am puzzled at the color. I see some blue sky, but the arch looks like black and white. Is that its true color, or did you photoshop it?

2. I've been working on processing to b&w.

I've been working on processing to b&w by adjusting the saturation and luminosity values in the color channels, rather than simply hitting "black and white" in Lightroom.

The blocks of the arch are a warm sandstone, and all I did was adjust the Orange and Yellow channels to get the effect I wanted. I didn't like the result when I adjusted the Blue and Aqua channels (too much white around the arch) so I left the natural sky with clouds/fog.

5. Haven't been out with the camera for a while.

Wife took me to San Francisco for the day on my birthday.

4. Pretty! I think the angel stands out better on the 2nd one.

Is that a security camera in the pic? It stands out more in the 2nd one, too.

6. I think it is a light.

They light this place up at night.
