Advertisement Posted January 26, 2007 Posted January 26, 2007 Hi Rolo, Take a look here Ten Stones. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
PeterL Posted January 26, 2007 Share #2 Â Posted January 26, 2007 Very good - fine art. I would like to have it on my wall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 26, 2007 Share #3 Â Posted January 26, 2007 Rolo - Â You continue to amaze me with your dark yet full tonal range, highly detailed photos, usually like this one, having great depth and sky. Lovely. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
odenty Posted January 26, 2007 Share #4 Â Posted January 26, 2007 Excellent one! I like the atmosphere, the sky, the stones of course, and the way you arranged it all on your picture! Congratulations! Â Olivier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mhanke Posted January 26, 2007 Share #5 Â Posted January 26, 2007 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. Â Regards, Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted January 26, 2007 Author Share #6  Posted January 26, 2007 Very impressive. Not only the picture framing and exposure, but also the digital work and presentation here is wonderful. Regards, Marcus  Marcus, you said that without being aware of the fence all around the site !  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.

stunsworth Posted January 27, 2007 Share #7 Â Posted January 27, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Fan-bloody-tastic. This is exactly the kind of photograph I'd love to take. The only issue I could have is with the jet trail to the left in the sky. And that is as small a nit as will ever get picked! Â Thank you for letting us see this.

crisdom Posted January 27, 2007 Share #9 Â Posted January 27, 2007 The sky reminds me of a Renaissance painting,with images in the clouds. Beautiful. Congratulations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

imported_peter_m Posted January 27, 2007 Share #11 Â Posted January 27, 2007 A other excellent image Rolo! Â It looks like you had some work to do, isn't just a shame they have to mess up things by building fences around it. Sure makes me wonder how they got that rock up on top.

andybarton Posted January 27, 2007 Share #12 Â Posted January 27, 2007 Pentre Ifan, unless I'm very much mistaken. Â Beautiful. Â You did well to avoid the visitors too. It's a bit like Castlerig - almost impossible to be there on your own. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotandcom Posted January 27, 2007 Share #13 Â Posted January 27, 2007 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. Â 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. Â All the best, Â Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
macos Posted January 27, 2007 Share #14 Â Posted January 27, 2007 Another amazing picture, Rolo. Probably another forum classics. The mystical mood of the location is transported by the image, hard to find words for it. Â All the best Marcus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

grantray Posted January 27, 2007 Share #17 Â Posted January 27, 2007 Wonderful image, Rolo. I'm curious- when you're working in PS, do you work with layers in order to help develop your tones? Â -grant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolo Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share #18  Posted January 27, 2007 Wonderful image, Rolo. I'm curious- when you're working in PS, do you work with layers in order to help develop your tones? -grant  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.  Rolo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted January 27, 2007 Share #19 Â Posted January 27, 2007 Rolo, this is one of the best landscapes I've seen here. Given the very high quality of the rest of your work, are you prepared to give away the secret of your duotone conversion :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotandcom Posted January 28, 2007 Share #20 Â Posted January 28, 2007 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? Â All the best, Â Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
