MacDonald's Ranch has been a staple in the Scottsdale community since 1956. A gem hidden in north Scottsdale that truly drives home what a western experience is all about.

Conversions here started with RAW files from a Canon Powershot G9X II, processed in Adobe Lightroom, and converted to B&W via the legacy Topaz BW Effects.

The Powershot features a pop-up flash, used to illuminate the wagon details in this shadowed area.

Thank you Jack, bill, John, Joe, Don!I've been shooting B&W film for a while now. I think I've started to prefer the film results over the digital conversions, even with my old Topaz software.

Good examples of B&W vividness without excessive harshness. Good choice of subjects also.

Thanks L-Fox, RG! I took one look at this wagon and decided immediately I'd want B&W conversions.

Thanks Topcat, DelRae! I've been looking at these B&W conversions vs some B&W film captures, where I guess I'm favoring the film shots better.
