look a bit dark and mysterious to me. love the spin cycle bokeh in the last.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

I like the darkness. Atmospheric shots - very nice.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Cheers folks ...
to be honest, I'm not really expecting people to get much out of this sorta thing ... I love it, Hannah really likes is to ... But I suspect it's appeal is quite narrow

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Appeals to me Hamish. . I like to see these captures which include the immediate environment. The second for me, for the focus point and lighting.

 

[Pete Askew]

Well, you knew I'd like them. And the noise is very impressive and better than I achieved in the Galleraki series (http://www.realphotographersforum.com/people-portraits/1489-galleraki-nights.html - mind, that was very dark and I should re-process them in LR4). The combination handled those highlights well didn't it and, as Beth notes, the out of focus areas and distortion add a nice touch.

Summarit makes the noise scrumptious.



(after shooting b&w with my ep1 which looked rather digital i stumbled upon an art scene which adds lots of grain
i wish i had stumbled upon it before).











P.s.
Did anyone get the connection ... scrumptious ... scrumpy jack

 

[Hamish Gill]

I've added grain in LR to these ... Lr4 is exceptional at removing noise

To get the effect, were underexposed then had the highlights pushed then clipped with the point curve ... Seems to have worked out quite nicely I think

Cheers everyone btw... I'm glad they appeal ... Expect more
