this one tries to sell you the Rising brand pin hole cap but it gives you some good advise on what to expect and advisable settings.

Looking forward to see how you get on with this.
Wind as a theme is quite interesting, so many ways of interpreting that one.

If we are going black and white, low and high key are always good. Maybe something that would normally always be in colour, such as a sunrise/set scene would be interesting too.

I'll try. Again. Failed miserably last time!

BW emphasizes shapes, patterns, textures, contrasts. It also is useful in isolating or making prominent subjects that would be lost or less prominent due to color. Thinking and composing to create a good BW is a great exercise in pre-visualization.

Thank you Rod! While I’ll try to follow up them. I might just aswell try to combine few of them as leading theme for whole month. That way I could hit the theme atleast 2-3 times. that is pretty good already?

I must get in the habit of setting reminders for themes.

Seeing Cindy's post on Youtube videos reminded me of this one. Its apropos to Monovember too! I learned alot from this one: an Adorama video on how to zone process a black and white image.

Thanks Bill! Good stuff!! I'm going to check more of his videos. I love learning.
I wonderful how these images would compare to some of Nik's Silver Efex presets. There is a Zone Scale on the bottom in Silver Efex where you can see what's happening in those ranges but adjustments are not as broad and available as in LR. DXO gives you control too, but this looks really good to use.

I like NIK presets, but usually I find they area good starting point and often i like what i do with Lightroom more, but that is because I usually like a bit more contrast in my images.
