Wow Sean, wow.... My canal shots this week are nothing compared to this. This really is you at your best ( or what I've seen the last few months...) Inspiring. Fav.
Wow those fishing rods almost reach to the other side of the canal. What a super shot Sean and I agree it could have been taken many years ago - timeless. Fav.
@tracie8266 Hi Tracie, I started this off in Photoshop, then used color Efex Pro's detail extractor and then converted to B+W in Silver Efex Pro. It sounds complicated, but it took less than 5 minutes, probably closer to 2 minutes!
I love this shot. Everyone has staked out their spot. The processing and lines are terrific. Fav. I must ask tho - What are they hoping to catch? The rods are so long they almost look difficult to manage. Not a scene I'm familiar with.
I think my husband and I did this Grand Union Canal in a long barge that belonged to his aunty and uncle several years ago.. I remember guys fishing but not with poles this big across the whole canal. What a super capture!! fav for sure!
Oh gosh -- this is just amazing!! I thought it might be detail extractor -- it's sooo effective! I love the lines and shadows across the canal and the composition. Fav instantly.
What in the world? I've seen a lot of fishing methods, but never anything like this. The whole scene is remarkable, but I would probably like it better with more traditional processing. Just my personal bias, of course.
