Longhill, New Covert B+W

A more traditional landscape shot of Longhill, New Covert.

I am a big fan of Michael Kenna, and have tried to shoot and subsequently process in his silhouette style for this shot.

Colour version will go up in my other album.

Very nice viewed large.

I will move onto a different subject tomorrow.

Stunning b/w Sean.... adore this

[David]

Nice to see you back Sean. This is the one for me - I love the way the banks of cloud frame the stand of trees and the high contrast really brings this out.

[Jen Hudson]

Superb b/w. David's comment is spot on.

[Sjouk]

Gorgeous !!

[Jocasta]

Fantastic - ( from a fellow Kenna fan).
Do you know this photographer - same sort of photo - v.contrasty http://www.michaellevin.ca

[Sean O'Neill]

@jocasta Thanks Jocasta, I didn't know him, but a cursory glance says his work is fabulous and definitely my cup of tea. Some of my shots of Another Place start here tomorrow! I am planning a return sometime in the next 6 weeks I hope.

[Junko Y]

Beautifully dramatic!

[dh (delena)]

I like both but this is much more dramatic and has more impact.

[Ceeceebee]

I like the halo around the trees and the contrast. The cloud banks are amazing. Def worthy of the wall.

[8yearson]

It's almost like someone has painted those clouds, they are all in just the best formation! High drama, I like the processing Sean.......

[Danny G.]

I love the stacked clouds - great shot!

[Pat Knowles]

Amazing cloud formations & that pretty clump of trees on the hill....lovely! going to have a look at the colour version now!

[Chris]

Super piece of work. Are those clouds for real? It is beautiful. fav.

[Andreas]

Fabulous, love the clouds and the processing. Fav

[Ann Stenson]

Magnificent Sean! : )

[Al Bailey]

Definitely view large! that sky is fabulous :)

[Rachel Mackenzie]

Fantastic viewed large and love the processing. FAV for me.

[Janelle]

That is a fabulous sky. How did you get this effect if you don't mind sharing?

[Sean O'Neill]

@stuckinoz I never mind sharing Janelle. I will originally have taken 3 bracketed shots, though will have set the camera up so one is exposed correctly and 2 underexposed by 1 and 2 stops. Then I would process in Silver Efex Pro to create the strong silhouette and select the Silhouette preset. If you take a quick peek at the colour "shadow" shot in my other album, this was the original shot.

[Aurelie Jacquet]

WOW that's a big fav!!! Amazing composition, contrasts...

[Ruth Lueth]

I love the silhouette of the trees and the gorgeouse clouds. It's so great to see you here again, Sean. It seems that the rest did you good. Your recent shots are stunning.

[Ruth Lueth]

BTW: fav
