Yeah, shame about that board. It was a tad blustery and I wasn't using a tripod so always a risk, should have had a more thorough look at the LCD. Just happy to have an acceptably sharp shot and not be blown into Morecambe Bay, really!
As for b+w, I've tried loads of methods but always struggled to get the result I want. For now I'm experimenting with the
Virtual Photographer plugin. Mostly it's a bit gimmicky, though the b+w seems quite good once you tweak the default settings.
