Romance & Ruin


ian cameron

I'm having a wee bit of fun with some images that I think work better as monochromes or black and whites. This is another which had quite theatrical lighting and for that reason a heightened sense of drama in its presentation. Although I tend to be known for my colour work I very much enjoyed messing around with black and white developing and feel that this shot would have been a typical target image for me. Dunottar Castle near Stonehaven couldn't be a more romantic and wild looking place. I was therefore quite pleased to see a couple sitting on the edge of the point gazing at this wonderful sight and unusually for me I have permitted people to be included in one of my landscapes. Hope you enjoy it.Pentax 67II, 55-100 zoom, polariser, 0.45ND grad, f/22 at 1/2 sec, (Velvia converted to mono in channels).NEW!! Photographic workshops and masterclasses at TRANSIENT LIGHT.

An unusual move for me a conversion from Velvia to a black and white

study converted using channels. The drama of black and white seems

to interpret the scene a lot better than the rather post cardy colour

version.

Ian,

 

Like a lot of your work, this is absolutely breathtaking. Being there must be an incredible experience. You've done a great job capturing it. I'd like to see the color version out of curiosity, but I think B&W works really well.
