Dug this up from the archives again though it wasn't another fantastic shot. This is actually part of a panaroma which never got stitched because of the perspective distortion coming from the failure of capturing the right nodal point. Anyway, i decided to crop the images instead and found it hard to even find a decent way to handle the rest of the photos. What i found interesting in this one is the layering of firstly the stairs, then the sloping tombstones, the shortening trees and finally the sky. It's funny how unbalance yet balance the photo feels as the tombstone line merges with that of the trees, though the weight falls soley on the right now. Taking a step back, the piecewise image seems worth a post (erm also because i have no other new ones), as i struggle past my last paper.

As JJ always say, only a poor photo needs excessive processing to gain attention. Did a double B&W conversion to get the different tonality for the trees and the sky. Then added two colour layers in different blending mode. Actually, it was more of a trial and error thing. Did lots of exposure mending for the clouds and then added very slight contrast boost (as the layer blending already brought out sufficient contrast). Did a little sharpening at the end.

So, what do you think bout this?

joel said...: Hmm, I always seem to have a problem with the watercolourish look of your photos. And since I've not ventured into IR, I can't really comment too. The mid of the photo seems a little overexposed though, and not sharp too. Wonder why..; 12 June, 2006 22:21
Sanne Dee said...: i would assumed it is a difference in artistic preference. the use of the "watercolourish" method creates a dynamic effect to the picture as well as setting a surreal dimension to its audience.
