I seem to be in a bit of a grit and grime mode... likely as a defence mechanism to being pushed ;p
Thank you all so much for your lovely comments on my "uncomfortable" photo... it was a good experience, and it got me into the museum for the first time in years!
@binny tx Binny... no, this scene is not in any way connected to the other one... although both are from backs of buildings that face on to the same road... but there are 2 o 3 blocks between them :)
@bankmann thank you! i confess to being rather stunned... i liked this well enough, and i got it to look the way i wanted it to, but quite surprised by all the wonderful response!
Just catching up Northy so be patient with me :) You know it just hit me that almost all of your last week is in b&w and you do it so well. Looove this!
When I was looking through your calendar for the challenge, this photo really stood out. It is really exceptional!! I know it was a while ago, but do you remember what you did to it in post? It has such a great feel to it!
@tryeveryday tx so much Michelle! this was edited in nik silver effex pro... i used the high contrast smooth preset and then likely played with it some... as i recall, the wall at the top right was too bright and distracting, so i likely darkened it... i prolly also added some toning, ambrotype maybe? or coffee? i'm afraid i don't really recall...
