[Play Raw] Amulree Kirk

Day out with the camera today. Sadly the light wasn’t particularly pleasing, hence my B&W conversion of the photo I took of Amulree Church, Perthshire, Scotland.

Here’s the RAW (licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 )

@agriggio, now that is a lovely edit.

I think I’ve frustrated myself tonight trying to get a dramatic moody image, when in actual fact a straight forward image, like yours actually looks very nice indeed!

@Brian_Innes Quaint. Good ensemble of features.

@agriggio Nice processing. Suits the subjects.

to me, the picture is suggesting calm and peace, which is what I tried to emphasize with my rendering. Maybe I’d have a different opinion if I had been there…

Very nice photo @Brian_Innes. Used GIMP 2.10.8 (Partha’s version).
I thought that the subject is a graveyard, and hence keeping empty vertical space was important.

Very nice light for me!
Gimp 2.10
… but very big problem with export as jpg, as you can see…

Edit: much better not using “save color profile” !!

@s7habo: Great work! I will have a closer look at the modules graduated density, bloom and velvia that I did not realy explore up to now.

Hey,

I cannot keep level with Boris and Thomas, but try my best with limited impact to the pic :slight_smile:

@AxelG We learn by doing while having fun. :slight_smile:

It also depends on your creative vision. What were you trying to do? If it matches the criteria, then you are successful. :sunny:

Challenging…
My “correct” use of tools :rofl:

Thank you!

No right way, unless it explodes pixls, then @patdavid and / or @darix will have words with you. :see_no_evil:

Nice crop BTW.
