Aglow by helenhall

Aglow

I am possibly loosing it with the editing here. I turned a perfectly respectable sunset image into black and white and then introduced two colours back in. Just to fit with the theme this week. An interesting exercise but also pointless.

Didn't see anything that grabbed me photographically today. This was taken earlier on in the week and edited today.

Don't usually make a thing of Valentines day, but somehow today ended up with a number of unplanned luxuries. My husband and I took a big map of Europe to a coffee shop this morning and started planning a rail trip. This afternoon we went to see the screening of Bob Marley - One Love and stopped for tea and a teacake on the way home. At 5pm they started selling cocktails at 2 for 1, so we lingered a little longer. Oh the joys of being retired!
Oh I agree:the joys of being retired. When was there ever time for work??

Split toning@@??!! I do like the shot the outcome you achieved, though.

Sounds like a lovely day! I have struggled with split toning this week - given up now! Yours is better than I achieved

@ankers70 more two toning than split toning. I need to look up how to do the later.

Very interesting color toning. This could be a landscape on Tatooine.....What a wonderful day you described with your Valentine!

well, i like the colours, Helen. it looks natural to me. aces! mind you, i couldn't wrap my mind to this split-toning thing. too complicated for my paygrade.😂 i'll stick to black and white.

what a nice valentine's day you had. random things that should be enjoyed. i had lunch with two older ladies from church after we attended the ash wednesday service. the one lady always gives me a ride and her husband has been in the hospital for a month now so i thought i'd cheer her up. didn't even think it was valentine's day. stay safe, my friend.

I really like this, surreal as it may be. It looks fantastic on black. I’ve not been nearly brave enough to try anything this bold. Good on you!

The silhouettes and the pink/gold glow makes a beautiful image.

I love it and I would never have guessed by looking at it that you had done much editing. The end result is beautiful however it happened! :)

Has come out quite interestingly I think with the colour variants - sounds like my sort of day, can't wait to retire!

This is gorgeous...I love it...fav!
It sounds like you had a wonderful day and planning a future trip is always nice. I hope you enjoyed the movie too. I am thinking of putting it on my list to see.

Beautiful scene and lovely processing.

Not to worry about the toning/split toning- I like the result here. Sometimes the end of the day really does feel like the world is bathed in red. But, true, if the sunrise/sunset already looks great, why fiddle with it? Glad you had such a lovely day- I remember your posts when you were looking forward to this!
