Old pics from HK

[blur]

Been editing my really old pics from a trip to HK. These are some of the B&W converted from colour. C&C much welcomed, especially on the conversions :)

Quite a few blown highlights and the tonal range is lacking a bit, perhaps try playing around with curves after your channel mixer conversion.

The panning of the lady pushing the cart is great!

Thanks, alan! I was delighted myself when I saw those covered bikes :)

Thanks, ST! I was actually like "wow, it's for real!", coz I thought I'd only see them on those chinese movies and drama serials :D:D Yeah, I notice about the blown highlights. Hmm, tonal range lacking ... that's one thing that I cannot quite grasp in b&w. Guess I'll need to do more research and practise:? Thanks for pointing 'em out!

Thanks, galee! Indeed HK is happening. I remember I was already back in the hotel room ready to go to bed at around 2 or 3 am, but the street down there was still soooooo lively and colourful :) It's really a nice place to visit.

Thanks, vladimir! Just like the lady pushing the cart, I was really delighted to see such activity going on ... just like in the movies and drama serials *LOL* :D
