The Stones Mysteriously Slated

[Rob MacKillop]

​

Edinburgh Royal Botanic Gardens. Konica Hexar AG. Fuji C200 film, developed and scanned at Boots. Some Nik malarkey in there as well. The second is deliberately overexposed to give an air of mystery...

 

[Pete Askew]

That second has a definite air of mystery to it. Nice. I find the contrast in the first a bit high though although I like the shot in general.

And it does that Rob, what is it? A well? Or some strange mythical burial mound?
I like the contrast in the first, somehing I would have just past by

Cheers, lads. It's an in-situ art work by Andy Goldsworthy [wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Goldsworthy ] Number S5 on this map: http://www.rbge.org.uk/assets/files/Gardens/edinburgh/RBGE_Map_Web.pdf

I'm contemplating doing a wee study of the art installations in the garden, some of which look really interesting. I like Andy's work a lot.

 

[Pete Askew]

Aha. We have a DVD of Andy Goldsworthy at work (Rivers and Tides). Truly impressive. If I remember correctly he has a Hasselblad that he uses to record his installations!

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Oh, he would!

The processing on that 2nd one reminds me a little of Pete's cross-processing look.

I'm liking the first one a lot Rob - the lighting and texture is really nice

You mean Pete's is a pre-echo of mine, surely?

Thanks, Chris. I'm going to return to this site when the light is better, but I quite like this as is.

Ah yes,...sorry about that Rob.
