A little urbex–ruin porn–from the Western MA town of Turner’s Falls, which a century ago had mills powered by the Connecticut River. Comments welcome, of course.

Hi Daniel,

I like it. How about black & white?

Frank,

Thanks. I tried a couple of images from this series in B&W. It didn’t work well. It didn’t work well. The loss of color contrast really weakened the image, in my opinion, it doesn’t have the tonal range to make a B&W work well.

What they look like in B&W depends a great deal on whether one boosts or pulls down reds, but as a quick example, I just converted this version using the default B&W settings in Photoshop. I think the result is drab.

I also wondered about grayscale, but no, it doesn’t really work here. Like the colour image, though.
