Spooky cinema

What do you mean the verticals are out a bit :)

I played around with this as I wanted to make it have a spooky dark feeling so used a radial around the light and desaturated the rest - think it works

Shows a master at work. Excellent image, which is certainly out of my comfort zone.

Love it! Just the place to watch an old Vincent Price film.

Re: Spooky cinema

Not the most attractive building you've photographed so the processing works well with it

Cheers,

Re: Spooky cinema

Wasn't sure about this but you've added great processing to make it memorable, it's grown on me now.

Re: Spooky cinema

I think this photograph demonstrates the difference between you and most others on the forum, it definitely shows the difference between you and me. As I see it there were three basic stages in getting the outcome.

1) i'll come back to.
2) Taking the original shot, which isn't particularly difficult and I'm sure we could have all taken it.
3) The processing, once again not too difficult, I think most of us could apply a radial filter and desaturate outside then darken sky etc.

1) Having the artistic imagination to think of the particular shot you wanted. i think that's the big difference. I can take a pic of a kingfisher or other bird on a post, sometimes catch a bird in flight, track a fast moving car or motorcycle. If you stick me in front of a nice landscape, I can take a reasonable shot but I and most others, lack the imagination to do some thing a bit different like this....that's the big difference between us.

I can't say this is my favourite shot of yours but it does show the imagination.

thanks for your views John - I do enjoy looking at locations and trying to work out how and what I can do to make the image more interesting, either bracketing or just playing around in one of the many editors I have access to, sometimes it works, sometime I fall flat, but I like to try

A very imposing shot Ian which I like

thanks Alan
