The Darkness...

[Pete Askew]

slowly swallowed the road ahead!

Sony RX100. PP in LR / Nik SilverFX Pro 2.

Superb shot, Pete. Love the curve on the tree, in the opposite direction to the curve on the road markings. Very atmospheric.

And there was me thinking you had been to another rock concert. I could just picture you jumping off the sofa sing at the top of your voice "I BELIEVE IN A THING CALLED LOVE, JUST LISTEN TO THE RYTHM OF MY HEART". I like the way my imagination fills in the details that I cant see in the darkness.

 

[Lesley Jones]

It's not just the darkness for me, but that small patch of light on the road and the fact you can almost make out the word SLOW up ahead

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks all. Yes, it was the light through the trees and the reflection that made me pull over and take the shot in the first place. And I was also careful to just leave the writing visible! The clouds were very impressive though and required no boosting.

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Superb Pete it works really well, so much darkness and just enough light to create a detailed landscape.

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Julian.

 

[Dan Cattermole]

Yes!!!! It's all about the darkness

 

[Beth Carter]

dark clouds, grain, big shadows... works for me. nice!

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Dan, thanks Beth.

 

[Aldous Lau]

What a darkness feeling. It gives me a feel about Norway Black Metal

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Aldous.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

must must must not be scared of black in my B&W - just brilliantly moody Pete

 

[Pete Askew]

Thanks Chris. You just need to move somewhere that is dark and miserable more often!
