I love these shots though, and the color cast was so bad from my shitty scanner that I decided to try greyscale to save them. I am new to converting to black and white, these look off to me. They were shot on Fuji NPS 160. I did the conversion in Lightroom. Advice please. 1. 2. grit your teeth in the face of fear. self repression is the true sign of a coward, toss your inhibitions to the wind.

It's all foreign to me.

I know lightroom has all those black and white adjustments, try messing around with them some more. Number two is better.
