Gerald Cafferty Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Another weekly challenge. If anyone else would like to post next week please give it a go, upload a High resolution jpeg. Just indicate by Wednesday next in this thread if you are willing to try. Remember there are no rules you can do what you wish in your interpretation, please can you give information of the steps taken and software used to add interest. It is not meant as a competition just a bit of fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma Desmond Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Photoshop: Crop maintaining aspect ratio of original. Convert to black and white using individual color channels. Very slight levels and curves adjustments. Just a hint of warm toning. 4 We didn't need dialogue. We had faces! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glenn McCreery Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Straightened the building side, cloned bushes and added to foreground in front of shed, cropped, and converted to black and white in Silver Efex. Added red filter, selenium tone, and vignette. Finally, I decided that, since the light was in the center of the image, it should be shining. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRCrowe Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 Made a selection of the building copy to a layer, flipped Horizontally, cloning and healing tools to blend. I thought the shed looked too much like an trash bin. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaellinder Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I decided to go with b&w before I saw the monochrome versions others already have posted, for whatever that's worth. Initially, in PSE, I straightened the church spires and then cropped from the left side. Thereafter I adjusted the aspect ration to create a square format, since I wanted the emphasis on the church. Then I went to Silver Efex for conversion to b&w, tonal, and sharpness adjustments. Finally, in PSE15, I used the dodging tool to brighten the street lamp's glass panes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaellinder Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 Tom, your version convinced me. I'm buying Smart Photo Editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_r Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Hi, Michael. SPE has turned out to be a good way for me to get different ideas when I'm not sure what approach to take to the excellent photos here. I just noticed this serendipitous little troll guy who appeared to guard the entrance! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will try again soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_r Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 My second attempt. This time auto-corrections in DXO Viewpoint, application of a Fuji Velvia lut I found online, and a few levels adjustments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerald Cafferty Posted February 16, 2018 Author Share Posted February 16, 2018 Thanks to all who have had a go, they are all excellent. Now it's my turn to let the side down. A combination of Lightroom and Silver Efex to turn day into night. I didn't make a note of the steps taken and now can't remember. I'll let others decide if it works even with some mysterious light sources. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
