Please welcome my new Grandson
Ahoy!

I am proud to introduce my new grandson Brandon Ian and 'Pirate 1st Class'.

Born tonight (10th March) at 21.24 and weighing-in at 8lbs 13 ½ oz. Dad is well-chuffed and my daughter is doing fine. This is their first child (my 4th grand child - first grandson).

Anyway, say hello to the little guy. That's Nanny Pirate! in the B&W image (cropped, converted to B&W and soft focus added). The other is just cropped.

Ahoy Liquid and everyone who has been kind enough to leave messages!

Yes Liquid, I guess I will be posting the odd image or 7, but what proud grand pappy wouldn't?

Thank you everyone for all your kind messages. It's most humbling.

Re: Please welcome my new Grandson
Ahoy!

Here's another one of the little guy. I don't do PP, but if anyone can make a better job of some of the images, let me know (I will be happy to supply the full RAW/TIFF/JPG. I've read many techniques about B&W conversions, but I'm a complete (insert your word here) about it. Out of interest, is there a B&W 'action' that can be downloaded for CS2?

This was with A700 and Tamron 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro and a poor effort at B&W conversion with PSP X (I would like to get better tones than this), though the original (and others in colour) are just sublime.
