Sometimes you are looking through photos and see shots that didn't turn out the way you wanted and there are others that you don't think are workable at all. This photo is one of the latter. It was very cloudy and dark. I was in a hurry and did not get the settings right and ended up with a murky dark picture. Whenever I tried to brighten it up through various methods, it got way too grainy and noisy and did not look good. I then decided to go in a different direction. I added more grain, pumped up the gain, converted it to black and white and cropped it down to frame better. I then added a moderate vignette and called it good. I really like the way this one ended up, maybe even more because it was so hopeless to begin with. Below is the original shot.
