I wasn't going to place this one here, but Julian saw it on flickr, and loved it...so here it is. Blame Julian.

No, it's awful! You shouldn't have bothered!

Nice, again those glowing whites from the gloom.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha. As I said, it's all Julian's fault.

"It stinks! Put it back on Flickr! Get it out of RPF--it doesn't belong here."

Those are the words of my envious alter ego.

Me,...? I like it, Rob. It would be interesting to compare this image with the original color version.

@Brian Moore - As ever, your wish is my command.

I remember when I was eyeing this one up, thinking this scene would be better under a different light, maybe a different time of day. I took the shot as a reference to remind myself.

Thanks, Rob. The treatment you gave the original post renders the image quite mysterious. I like how you processed it, and especially now that I see the original, its clear that the processing was a good way to turn a mundane image into a rather special photograph. Good for you for having that vision, Rob.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Brian. Mundane is the word. I quite liked how it came out with Nik Silver doing its job. Still, it's a wee scene I intend to return to.

Love it - the original color image is, uh, pedestrian at best. You did a fantastic job of turning it into a very compelling photograph.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Nice one Rob. Why don't you go back and stack the logs into a more interesting pile

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Thanks, guys. This Sensia film is ten years old or more, and is only good for monochrome renders, I think. But I have ten rolls left...
