Light from the Dead

Colour slide scanned and in photoshop converted to black and white,

I painted back some greys and yellows in an attempt to re create the

mood I experienced in this place of desolation.

Great composition.7/7anon.Regards.Janusz.

Wow! Talk about a different take on this oft-photographed locale.

 

More than just being different, I think it is very effective. The prettiness of the place has been stripped away by the strong contrast and the B&W treatment. That leaves only the starkness, the ghostliness of the place left behind in the image. I really find this startlingly compelling and gripping.

 

I would be interested in seeing this without the yellow -- either as a straight B&W or toned overall. I'm not sure it'd be better; but, I would still be curious.

Hi Bettie, Excellent post work. 7/7a Take care

Bettie, this is amazing. I guess you have definitely learned a lot from Scott Kelby. Your PS skills are superb. Congrats!

Your kind comments are very valuable to me. Thank you Everybody! Indeed, Im having fun with PP! The proof of the pudding will be when I receive my print of this one:-))

Once, Ive figured out how to post an image in the thread, I'll post the first stage of my black and white conversion from the velvia coloured one.

Great capture and tone porcessing

This is a very unique looking and beautiful photograph. It is also very mysterious looking. I'm not quite sure what all you did to this photo to get this effect, but I LOVE it!
