Day 176 of 365 days. I am oh so sore. Had a wrestling show in Ohio today. One that I thought I wasn’t actually going to be wrestling on. But then when I got there, I found out that one of the BDW tag team champions, the Puerto Rican Wrecking Crew, didn’t show up because…
Taken for the Class with Dave group. The assignment was to take a picture of some sort of architecture in black and white and to share the photoshop settings for the translation with the group.

I took the shot on the way home so that it would be darker and the lights would be on. I used a fairly long exposure and a higher ISO to get a lot of exposure detail.
In photoshop I used a channel mixer adjustment layer to set it to black and white with the following settings:
Red: +20%, Green: +35%, Blue: +75%
Then I added a levels adjustment layer with these settings:
input Black: 15, input Mid: 1.0, input White: 240
output Black: 0, output White: 255
