Rolo,

I like the square aspect, it enhances the sense of solidity.

I agree with John, and this is another I guess which produces a stunning print.

Perfect framing and angle, lovely tones and details.

Beautifully worked. A really nice b&w image.

Wonderful, really good!

Lovely shot...I like the way the building seems to grow out of the ground.

Lovely shot Rolo. I can almost smell the heather, just nip inside for a wee dram or two!

Hello sailor; lost your roll of lino?

Another beautiful yet simple shot. Thanks for showing.

Cheers,
Pete.

Pete,
when you say "simple", do you mean 'simple', or 'simple, simple'. ??

Wasn't simple, simple, at all ! Below is how to do it 'not simple' in 10 minutes.


Andy, it was on the Isle of Skye. Thanks.

Rolo,
I was thinking "simple" in terms of not being complex! Meaning the subject matter- nothing fancy but, yet again, you produce a fantastic result.
I know that a great deal of effort goes into the finishing of your images and, frankly, I would not know where to start in doing all that digitally.
I think that many others would join me in saying that your images have raised the standard to a new and aspirational level. Keep 'em a comin' please.

Cheers,
Pete.

Excellent Rolo you got the shading perfect.

The building just seams to grow out of the surroundings very harmonious image.

And thank you for the demonstration how you achieved the image. when you do your adjustments do you do them to the negative scan?

Hmmm..., must be something wrong with me. Prefer it the way you shot it.

Ha ! The barrel is quickly becoming empty.

As you can testify, I'm a Leica owner and user, but much of what I have left comes from a selection of camera makes. Perhaps, a Moderator could waive any guilt for my breach of the Rules and the dialogue can continue.

William, the full frame image is my preferred altenative as a stand alone. However, as part of a series it needs to look like the others and they are square. The different crops make different statements and I'm comfortable with both. Photoshop's crop tool is great because it can be slid around and there's always Control Z.

Think I might have said above, this is one bitch to print optically as there is so much work. Playing down that scrap wood, removing five telephone lines .... Argh!!

Me too. Nice image indeed.

[Schönbiel]

Very well done. Beautiful image!

[roguewave]

Rolo, a wonderful creation. Thanks for sharing your strategy to create the image. I often do the same with a sketch pad. Your idea using the neg directly, is brilliant.

[Falstaff]

Now this I like.

The composition is amazing. Have you already had the square format in mind when you shot it?

For me all the work for the remastering seems to be worth all the 'sweat and tears'. The atmosphere is dense and the picture is interesting.

Thanky for sharing
