You were meant to get a bonfire montage .... but you get this instead....

You were meant to get a bonfire montage, but I took my nifty fifty and it was far too fast for the fireworks and the results were a tad to burnt out (no bonfire pun intended).

So instead you have "Minimalistic Fields" on the path between Redhill and Bestwood Country Park.

Edited in GIMP and an G'MIC film emulation filter of a Rollei IR 400 film.

A bit of messing about with contrast and the result is as above...quite grainy and atmospheric

I've shot these fields from various angles and on various zooms before, but I don't think you've been this far down the field before.

Hope you like...oh and 'view large' looks better

Very cool shot! The black and white makes the image look deeper and more interesting!

Fabulous Phil.....love the tram lines & the b/w of course you do so well..........the wide open space & big sky is very impressive. Nice textures of the crop & sky!

[Phil Howcroft]

@mja thank you Jose, glad you approve

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat many thanks Pat, i'm enjoying the new monochrome filter i've downloaded to support my GIMP photo editing ..... now the nights are drawing in and the mornings are dark, the 365 becomes much more difficult when I'm at work during daylight hours !

[Pat Knowles]

@phil_howcroft Well I don't know how you do it...if I was working away from home it would have defeated me......can't spend all night on the computer ...not very sociable with family!!!!

[Pat Knowles]

Ps. your filter works beautifully!

[Phil Howcroft]

@happypat thanks Pat....well it's the camaraderie that keeps me coming back to 365 :)

[Pat Knowles]

Fab b&w landscape Phil.. Like the movement of the clouds in the sky. Strong lines in the fields.
