underground

i'm out of lightbulbs and time today... took part two of the Lightroom course and am starting to understand just how little i know about colour... so back to black and white and murky light (my comfort zone ;p)...

this is a bit of an experiment... processed in LR, converted to bw in nik silver fx... but split tones were added in LR as i decided it was high time i started figuring out how to do it properly :)

(this works quite nicely enlarged on black, i think)

thank you all so much for the wonderful response to the lightbulb shot... i have to say, tho', apart from breaking the bulb, this was infinitely easier a set up than a smoke shot and much less of a pain than a water drop shot!
The lighting is amazing. Fav!!

Oh I really love this shot, awesome lighting and contrast

Always more to learn. Nicely done on the split tones

Fab shot!! Love it. I have some presets in LR that I love for split tones... they can be fun to play with but also sometimes make it hard for me to decide on an edit lol.

I'm drawn to the brickwork of the floor.

Superb lighting, love the soft reflections on the floor. And no litter! Fabulous

I love the way how the low light draws attention to the floor, as it perfectly emphasized the bricks. fav

Great experiment, atmosphere and perspective. The floor tiles and the neon lights lead the eye...

It works brilliantly enlarged. Seamless in fact xx

This is awesome...I don't understand thing one you do in LR or Nik...the most I understand is that those two are processing software!!! fav
August 20th, 2013  
This is freakin' awesome. I have no clue about the processing; I don't know a split tone from a banana split, but there is something amazing about the end result. Fav
