Very rustic and dark! I love it!
Thanks Mark, I'm really happy with this one as it's turned out very much like a painting :)
Great work Dave.
Thanks Kev :) I definitely think this is my best bit of processing to date.
Lovely photo. I sure does look like a painting. Did you process that yourself. How clever. I have processed black and white photographs when at uni (and in my laundry), but not colour.
Certainly is different, it would make a great jigsaw. :-)
seen in the Australian Photographers!!! group
Digital post processing Gayle, I've not developed a film (personally) since high school. :) I applied a texture to the original photo (I think the texture I used was a patterned concrete, alas lost in the server crash) and then I hit it with the Photoshop watercolour filter (after puddling with said filters settings a bit - unfortunately I've lost the photoshop source file in the server crash too).
Thanks Barbara - I think when I have some free cash I might get this one printed and hung on the wall (providing I can re-create it that is).
Nice creation.
I just realised what you meant. Silly me. Processing in the dark room has all but disapeared these days. Photoshop is amazing though. I love it.
Thanks Tracy!
hehehe Yep, I know a few people who do b&w developing at home, but I'm not one of them.
That is a pretty funky effect dave.
Thanks Alex, I really like this one - even looks good printed on the colour laser at work :)
That's a cool treatment. For some reason, it made me think back when I went to art school and we was asigned to draw a charcoal of a box. When we were finished, the professor told us to draw some more - and we had to continue drawing on the same paper for 2 more days! It resulted in some really interesting drawings and I learned a lot from it :-) I think your picture have some of that worked-through expression to it! You've done a great job!
