Trying out the B&W picture effects mode on the RX1.

Love the B&W treatment JB.
A bit of increased local contrast of the
stained glass would enhance the image, me thinks.
The stained glass looks too high key for my liking.

Hi JBTaylor;

I like the in-camera B&W treatment. The first one is my favourite...
The interiors reminded me more of the interior of a cathedral with the crosses, giant stained glass and the majestic dome with those external columns and intricate work certainly give the impression of a church-like place. But the American eagle certainly suddenly changes the context of the scene.

Thanks for sharing. You seem to enjoy this cameras features...and we enjoy the results.

Very nice shots jb, you do the Academy proud.

Thanks for commenting.
Trying to figure out if I should consider the range of tones before composing or after. Typically, I just see shapes when composing.

Am I over thinking this?

What ever you are doing, is working for me. Please continue....

The B&W really emphasise shapes, textures and contrast and I think these work well in the Academy. I like 3 and 5 best - the dark pews are a nice contrast to the white walls.
