Some morning light from the Highline (NYC)

Some images from the stroll through the Highline with Sharookh and Stuart a couple of weeks ago.

MM/75mm summilux/yellow filter

My instinct was to add some subtle toning to enhance to mood I was trying to convey. Does it work?

C&C are most welcome!

 

Best,

Adam

I like all three, but I would like to see number one without split toning. Here is why: the toning draws my attention to the panels and away from the interesting reflections (water reservervoir, etc.). My guess is that a more monochrom look woukd work better. Furthermore, I prefer the warm tone of pic nr 3 over the blue toning of 2....

Thank you very much, DJ.

 

Here are monochrome versions as well as a shot of the second that I took last year with Portra and a 50mm DR summicron (for comparison).

 

This may prove that I am, in fact, "tone deaf;" and that Portra does indeed rule the world. :)

I am a black and white only type of guy. Medium format till last year and now a M Monochrom. I truely like both pics in straight black and white. My gut feeling was right (at least to me): the picture nr 1 does work better this way. Even has a Ralph Gibson quality to it. Gibson is one mf my hero's.

Thanks for following up on this, DJ.

 

On the first, I had hopes for a little more shimmer from the reflections of morning sun, hence the attempt at toning to try to create a replacement dimension to the image.

 

But on reflection, the toning I chose continues to remind me of urine. So if anything I will likely stick with the B&W.

 

Thanks again!

 

Adam
