pauledell Posted April 10, 2014 Share #2 Posted April 10, 2014 Euston, Very dramatic especially the last ywo with their perspective. Paul Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted April 10, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Robert, What a wonderful set! I love the last one and I find it amazing to see that imposing cathedral almost over that fragile and beautiful building! It must be interesting to see if there is a kind of passage going up to the cathedral from the building that seems to be the "residence" and maybe the offices of the people in charge!

euston Posted April 10, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted April 10, 2014 Paul and Louis, thank you very much. Louis, that much photographed building is actually the Durham University’s Museum of Archaeology.

Iduna Posted April 11, 2014 Share #8 Posted April 11, 2014 Euston, great series. The compositions are all good. amazing is that blacks and highlights are very detailed. The control of contrasts is surprising and well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
euston Posted April 11, 2014 Author Share #9 Posted April 11, 2014 Thank you very much, Iduna. I did do a bit of work on these in the digital darkroom - mainly to lift the shadows. I wanted to reveal some of the detail without losing the overall sombre tone of the scene itself. Anyone who uses the X Vario as a stand-in for an M9, as I do, will not be disappointed at the range of adjustment available in the image files. Judging from the full-size images, I think these will print well. I’m going to get Whitewall to make me large prints of the last two. I need to find an excuse to return to Durham in the summer when the leaves are on the trees or autumn when the colours turn. At those times of year, the mood of these scenes is totally transformed. Come to think of it, that’s reason enough for a return trip. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allamande Posted April 16, 2014 Share #10 Posted April 16, 2014 What an amazing setting! I love the layered view that gives us the first approach and the bittersweet inscription. Then the closer views give a detailed feel for the place. I think it is a great idea to revisit when the seasons change and I look forward to seeing what the place looks and feels like then.
