Very impressive. Not only the picture framing and exposure, but also the digital work and presentation here is wonderful. Maybe, but this is my very personal feeling, the white frame could be a tad thinner. For my taste, it tends to dominate the picture, at least in this onscreen presentation. When hanging on the wall, as a large-size print, it would be fine.

Marcus,

you said that without being aware of the fence all around the site ! :D

 

See below.

 

It made it quite a challenge for me.

 

The borders are my way of separating the image from the grey background, red banner and text of the Forum. For framing, a view would need to be taken of the frame and size etc. This is just to help focus on what I'm putting on the screen.

 

Thanks to all of you for your comments. They are valued. :)

Agree with the others - another terrific piece of work, Rolo. I'm beginning to appreciate just how much effort you put into preparing your images for publishing. It's a bit like the musician who puts in several hours of practice every day so that the end result can seem effortless. It's a stark lesson for lazy beggars like me.

 

In this image I especially like the delicacy with which those uprights support the massive cap stone, as if with their finger tips. And, if Steve will allow, I rather enjoy the juxtaposition of the prehistoric and the jet age.

 

All the best,

 

Chris

Wonderful image, Rolo. I'm curious- when you're working in PS, do you work with layers in order to help develop your tones?

Thanks to all for your kind words.

 

Grant, I always apply the same duotone mix that I created to ensure that my images have the same tone and feel. That way, one might instantly recognise the work of an individual photographer.

 

Mine comes from a background of working in a wet darkroom using my own mixture of thiocarbamide ( dark sepia like). When I attempted to replicate this in Photoshop, I knew the toning that I wanted. It wasn't difficult.

 

BTW, your website has some impressive graphic art on show.

Steve has asked the question that I expect was on all our minds! I'm not sure if we have any right to expect an answer since Rolo is a professional part of whose living comes from offering instruction in darkroom and Photoshop techniques. Perhaps some of us should club together and buy a day's instruction from him?

 

All the best,

 

Chris
