About 6 months ago I had the awesome opportunity to photograph several SWAT teams during training exercises. I had an all access pass to follow them as breached a building, saved the hostages, and got the bad guys. The opportunity to document such activities is something I’ll always remember. This afternoon I had to urge to take a photo that I really liked and reprocess it using a different technique. The original effect was a simple but harsh b&w conversion. I think I like this better. It’s definitely gritty and sharpened, but I feel that it adds something to the character. The atmosphere and situation these guys work in seems to demand such an effect. I’d like to hear your thoughts.
