3. Subtle Colours:



4. Leaves in frozen water:




5. Signet. Love these soft, subtle colours.



6. Soft Sun, part 2:




All shot raw, then Iridient Developer. No.4 went into Nik Colour for some Glamour Glow. I like the subtle colours of the lens and camera, but with No.4 I thought I'd explore pushing things. I prefer the more subtle colours of the other shots.

So, now the lens goes back in its box until Christmas...

Images 2 and 4 are the ones that stand out to me.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, John.

 

[Dave Farnes]

That is a great set of images, all very good. I particularly like the "soft sun" pics.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Me too. Cheers, Dave.

A nice set Rob. 4 looks good, then again I tend toward bolder colours!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Glad you like them, Milan. I think I went too far with No.4, but a lot of people, here and elsewhere, seem to like it. Cheers.

Great shots. But I am in love with the first one. The skyline is marvelous, and the big negative space in the front works well for me. It screams for a B&W treatment. But I think most photos scream for a B&W treatment, so don't bother....

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Rense. I did take a look at a b&w version, and while I thought it was good, I really preferred the subtle colours here. I do more b&w work than colour, so that's an unusual decision for me, one I'll lose sleep over!

2, 3, 4 and 5: Beautiful. And the cloudy sky in 1 and 6 is too.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, laddie!

Really like them Rob, you know me and colours right. Well I do not know when you purchased the fuji xt20 and the lenses, but congratulation with the purchase. From what I gather and see, you must have grown to like it a fair bit. Happy for you.

Thanks, Ivar. It does b&w too ;-)
