waterloo by peadar

waterloo

This is one of the new concessions at the re-developed Waterloo main line station in London. I was struck by the fact that we seem to be comfortable and reassured when we are recreating environments from 100 years ago.

I'm still playing with "negative clarity" (for those who don't use Lightroom or similar, this is one of the adjustment options in the Develop module that allows you to sharpen and increase contrast [positive clarity] or soften and reduce contrast [negative clarity] in the image). Enough already!

Thank you so much for all your recent comments - particularly as I play around with rather esoteric software adjustments. I really appreciate your support.
Lovely muted tones in this Peter! I think you have found your forte!

Lovely shot .Hope you are learning as I am trying to come to terms with cs4 after using coral

Very nice shot

@fintan Fintan, yes, the software is more difficult than the photography!!!

Looks like a lovely place!

I like the lighting on the items in the glass case. Is it a bakery? Was there a light, or is this your processing?

I also like the lighting.
And I love reading your post about the shot. I use Lightroom almost daily and have never paid any attention to that until you mentioned it. Thanks!

really like this one - I think of all of your negative clarity experiments, this is my favorite. . .I like the sort of glow that surrounds the baked goods in the case.

How cool! I really like this shot. I like the comp, but I'm most drawn to the light in the bread case.

I really like this shot. It has a neat feel to it!!

Thats really interesting, I don't have lightroom but love how you've done this, would be interesting to see the original....all the editing programs look so complicated, downloaded Gimp..no idea even how to start!! Love the glow in the bread section...

I love the processing. It makes the food look angelic. Amazing shot.

Thanks for the comments!

@henrir Henri, the light is from the three green shaded lamps above. I highlighted the light in Lightroom. (Lots of "lights" in that sentence!!!)

@fannyb Fanny, Lightroom is the kind of software that you can use a little or a lot. It's not cheap, but not nearly as expensive as Photoshop.

Very effective Peter

@peadar The edited picture is so much better than the original. Thanks for your explanation.

Negative clarity creates here a very nice ambiance. Great shot.
