Advertisement Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Hi Alan Philpotts, Take a look here Sail Lofts. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted January 12, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 12, 2009 Alan - Beautiful composition, detail & depth, but what really sets it apart is the tonal richness. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elansprint72 Posted January 12, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 12, 2009 ... or lack of? Composition faultless but are these buildings really so grey? I'm struggling with this problem myself; digitally. What looks good on a print can look crap on a screen. If only someone could invent a process where a mediocre digital exposure could be converted back to film and sorted in a wet darkroom..............

Alan Philpotts Posted January 13, 2009 Author Share #4 Posted January 13, 2009 @ Stuart - thanks for the kind comments - glad you like it. @ Pete - thanks for your advice here and for the words of welcome on the Due South thread. I had difficulty in balancing subject and sky texture on this one. A reworked version: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted January 17, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 17, 2009 I agree with Pete here. Perfect composition but I would like less grey. The clarity and sharpness is exquisite. Maybe play with filters to lighten the buildings? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
petewayne Posted January 18, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 18, 2009 The composition is excellent, and I think it is important that historical buildings such as these are caught for posterity as we lose so much these days. Balancing grey can be a pain and if you havent already tried it, Nik Softwares Silver Efex Pro is worth a try if only for the control point manipulation of "problem" areas, such as the "halo" effect around the roofs.
