Capitol Hill Motel Detail

I love the sense of direction and color in this image. The way you framed the arrow is just right... fills the space perfectly.

No manipulation here at all. This is a raw scan of the slide. I recently got access to a much

better scanner so this is a third upload of the image. It finally looks on screen as it looks in

the slide.

 

As per ususal, please comment. Thanks!!

I think this may be my fav of the group- right next to the star. I went to your website looking for more signs but alas no such luck. I would be interested in seeing more of yours should you decide to post more.

Will do. Right now the bulk of the series is on Velvia slides. I don't own a slide scanner so they'll have to sit for the moment. Since switching to digital I haven't had the time to go back to these sites and reshoot them but I do plan on doing so (assuming I can get good results with digital).

I like the colors and the lines a lot. Have you re-shot any of these using digital yet? I think you will be pleased with the results, especially if you shoot RAW and play around in the "digital darkroom"

 

I have a similar shot (not neon, but glow sticks in my Abstracts folder

I tried a few with my old D70 last year but didn't dig the result much. Now that I have a D200 I'm going to go give some of them another try. The bulk of my neon shots (only a couple of which are on Photo.net) were shot with Velvia 50 so you can imagine that there's a pretty big qualitative difference between them and my digital versions. However, since the D200 goes down to ISO 100 and has superior rendering of red values to the D70 I'm thinking that I can get better results now.

 

Once the weather warms up a little bit here in Oregon I'll be back out to re-shoot this and other signs. I'll post the results when I do!

 

Thanks for the comment!
