I don’t know whats gotten in to me but what ever it is I’m enjoying the different looks these old photos offer when experimenting in Lightroom. I do draw inspiration from other photographers, such as you my readers, and for that I thank you. This look was inspired by a photographer that I had in my bookmarks forever and I must have deleted his website during my recent reorganization of my bookmarks. I would love to recognize him but just can’t remember his name. Anyway, thank you for your contribution to my inspiration, whoever you are:)
Below is the original….
Another in the series, first the experiment…
And the original…
I have a few more from this series that I will show this week. I would love to hear your thoughts on these so please, if you have the time, let me know what your thinking. Thanks!
They both have different aspects that I like (the sepia tone brings out more of the textures, while the color adds a new dimension). I’d have to say that I like the color pictures a little more (because of that extra dimension), but the altered image is still great! Good work!
Your processed photos have the look of a cold winter’s day and that is so refreshing.
Those monos are great Mike…nice work
That effect really works well w/ both of these shots…both already have minimal color and the processing really brings out the textures in the sand!
Think the mono is a nice artistic representation that highlights your simple and effective composition.
It is interesting to see how the mood of the photos changes when processed into a monotone. I like how the textures are enhanced in the monotone, but I also like the warmth the color gives.
