one of the best video on black and white

[@lindaferrell6644]

It was wonderful to see you doing a full edit again. I miss watching you do that from your earlier days. I learned so much from them. Thank you!

[@toine1915]

Hi Serge, I think this is one of the better B&W videos you've made. I only work in B&W so I am very happy with this. In fact, I still use your old presets. And they work perfectly. Thank you, my French friend. Kind regards from the Netherlands, Antoine.

Bonjour vous ne faites plus de tutos en Francais ?

Thank you master!!!

Nice Video,clear conscise and to the point. I purchased your course 'Art Of Black and White'. The tips here, using the new Lightroom, when added to the course, produce some cracking results. I'm working on an Urban landscape project for my local town. I'll create the book and hopefully sell it through the local travel information centre. Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

Bravo!

[@ArtFlyProductionEricLafargue]

Bonjour Serge, Merci pour ce superbe tuto. Y-a-t-il un moment de la journée plus propice à la prise de ce genre de photo pour ensuite la travailler ainsi ?

[@thegroove2000]

Should corrections be performed first as in denoise, camera lens distortions etc.?

[@thegroove2000]

If required of course.

I assume you fixed the halo that surrounded the building before you were done with the edit.
