GRD, f4, 1/250, ISO 400, JPG b&wWhen I passed this car the first time I liked the setting but the light was not right, it was cloudy so I did not take a picture. On my way back, the sun came through and the light was much better. This shows that although a scene or setting can be right, without the right light you can't get a good picture. After all photography is all about the light. Took the picture in black and white but added a sepia toning to it, since it gives it more of a timeless appearance.
I wondered what was happening to your site yesterday - weird or what?
ReplyDeleteI cannot see the sepia effect - but its a lovely picture.
What a shame that a classic old car is being allowed to rot away. Many enthusiasts would love to have the opportunity to restore a Morris Traveller.
Hope you aren't the target of spammers today.
Thanks for your comment yesbuts!
ReplyDeleteNo idea what happened yesterday, seems to have been someone with too much time on their hands. If this continues, I will put back the word verification so this should stop people from posting too often for no reason.
I only used a very subtle sepia effect, it's almost b&w but with warmer tones. Should not stand out as a sepia picture.
This is true, shame to have a car rotting away.
Hi Cristi
ReplyDeleteAs I was posting my blog today I thought - the next time there is an exhibition in the Bargehouse I will have to tell you- irrespective of the exhibition content, the building itself is a gem for photographers, with its crumbling plaster, peeling paint and dirty windows. Unfortunately most events only last 2~3 days (the Korean artists exhibition finished yesterday). I think the next event will be a Christmas fair 20~23 November. So make a note in your diary.
What a great scene. Most folks would pass right by it.
ReplyDeleteA fantastic photograph and it works superb in B&W with some toning.
ReplyDeleteAnd the image looks remarkably good at ISO 400, Cristi! With some very fine noise indeed.
Thanks Yesbuts, will mark it in my diary, the building looks really cool.
ReplyDeleteThanks James, I find that since I started this blog I never pass by anything and am more aware of what is around me. Always on the lookout for photo opportunities.
Thanks Wouter. I found that a slight overexposure (+0.3) gives much finer grain at higher ISOs.
I get the impression too, that overexposing gives better results with finer noise at higher ISO's.
