I’ve had a go at processing this (results not shown here) but i’m interested to see if others can keep the feeling of the light and dust but get a lass banal result. Or maybe i am being hard on myself.
Hmm, the cars are a bit distracting. This is the best I could get out of this shot (straighten lines, cropping the blown sky and going for a colorful vintage vibe):
Thanks! Interesting, this is much closer to the one i ended up with (i’ll post it in a day or two). I think i may like yours better than mine actually, although losing the right-hand wall makes the cars more distracting perhaps.
Here is an attempt with RT 5.8. Tried to camouflage the parked vehicles and add the drama of a bright sign in a rundown neighbourhood with the use of low contrast. img_6925.jpg.out.pp3 (12.6 KB)
This gets the light very well. I also had a shift towards yellow. I’m not entirely happy with the colour of the van here - it didn’t move towards the yellow. It’s a closer crop too, which is almost always a good thing although the triangle of sky and the right-hand wall seem to me to be grounding, so i’m somewhat torn.
I think that the slight blue in the sky is due to color propagation as the zone is surrounded by a zinc gutter. But the result is welcome.
The overall aspect is partly due to use of Halclut film simulation .
I tried to reconstitue the harsh (but that can be beautiful) light we can encounter in streets in the south of france and in Italy when sun is high.
