Burning the Cross
Burning the Cross - 5.10mm at f/2, ISO 80, Shutter speed 1/125 second
I took my twin brother to the industrial site I went to shoot at yesterday. The weather was quite different also, which although brings new challenges, weren't my favourite conditions. I have some images to process from today, but before I do I wanted to share this image I took yesterday. I will be entering it into the BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPHY magazine's alternative printing process assignment. Luckily they accept digitally processed images too, or I really would have nothing to submit!
This is a selenium print. I pulled the image into Silver Efex Pro and processed it with the Kodak 100 TMAX Pro film type. I then used selenium (preset 13) toning to give it the style you see. One other thing I experimented with was the color filtering. I went with a yellow color filter as this seemed to accentuate the grass in the foreground in a way that was more pleasing to me. Which ever color you choose to filter, essentially lets more of that color through thereby rendering those tones lighter. Choosing a yellow filter allowed me to bring more definition to the grass in the foreground.
I was tempted to post the M9-ified color version of this image because it looks cool too, but didn't want to spoil the mystery. This image was shot with my Leica D-Lux 4.
