i think this one is better

I like the framing much better Davie. Still not keen on the hue though. It's a bit like moonlight but not quite if you see what I mean.

 

[Hamish Gill]

I like this one more too...
I still like the blue ... :/
Is it done with some sort of "split tone" I don't know aperture as you know so I can't be I huge help but I I were to go for a tone like this I would apply a strong blue to the shadows but counteract it with a sepia colour on the highlights ... This would introduce a bit of subtle warmth into the image that might help with Petes concerns

 

[Hamish Gill]

Have a look at the before and after half way down this page
I added a subtle sepia to get a bit of warmth as described

Are you SURE I can't tempt you into the warm and dark Davie?!

 

[Davie Hudson]

i like that Pete, looks almost welcoming

 

[Paul Lange]

I like the blue hint as I think it really looks like that strange unnatural hue you get sometimes around twilight. What I do think is that it looks like the noise reduction has been pumped up a bit. Maybe a bit of noise or grain on the woodwork?

 

[Davie Hudson]

I usual ramp up the definition almost like a sharpening tool, wasn't sure if it would work on this the same way it seems to on landscapes

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks but you don't want to go back there at night! Terrible things have happened in that hut I tell, terrible!!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Fair play Pete! That's some pretty snazzy photoshop work!!

 

[Pete Askew]

The wonder of layers and masks!! If I could have been bothered to walk upstairs and get the graphics tablet it would have been a bit tidier. But then I'd have had to stop listening to King of America for 2 minutes!

You beat me to it, Pete...I was going to try putting a light in one of the windows...

Nice work, though....

[Pete Askew]

Pete, are you spying on me whilst I'm at home?!? ;p

 

[Pete Sykes]

I really like those especially the "night effect" top work............. It's "Hansel & Grettel"

Excellent.

Pete

Sorry Davie, didn't mean to divert the thread. I like the images of the hut very much and I think they are worth developing further. I think Hamish's idea of a split tone could get you to the moonlight feel.

 

[Davie Hudson]

lol divert away Pete I don't mind, I like seeing what other people do with the same shot and doesn't necessarily divert me from the path I want anyway ... does give me stuff to think about and i love that

What a great location Davie - spooky and interesting

it was a total fluke, spotted out of the corner of my eye, slammed the brakes on with a few expletives lol ... I still haven't decided on a PP for it
