[Play Raw] St Monans Kirk, Fife.

I was out with my photography club at the weekend, Dunfermline Photographic Association, for a day out at St Monans and Anstruther, in Fife, Scotland.

Quite tricky lighting I found.

While I had thought about using tripod & filters etc, I preferred to keep things “simple” and lightweight, and just use my Canon 750D, with the Canon 18-135mm “Kit” Lens.

Here we have an image of St Monans Kirk.

Interesting to see what people make of it, and if it is feasible to edit out the telephone cables in darktable.

Thank you for sharing.
Not DarkTable. Filmulator and then GIMP. Removed the cables (although I was lazy and did not remove them where they crossed the roof!)
Adjustments to contrast and an increase in saturation - probably overdone.

Here’s my go - thanks for the great photo! DT 4.0, mostly obvious except maybe the channel mixer fiddling (my pet toy at the moment!) I haven’t done anything about the cables though. I’d like to see what the retouch module would do, but I’m on my laptop which is already groaning under the load of a couple of masks + the other modules.

Now I’m seeing it along side others versions mine looks a bit cooler than I meant… I think I won’t change it though :face_with_peeking_eye:

I like the B&W although slightly too dark for my taste.

Nice image, thanks for sharing!

I like your edit and decided to hijack it :innocent:.

My main changes:

  • Removed the dull halos on the church-walls against the sky by tweaking tone-equalizer curve a bit.
  • removed chromatic abberations: CA-Module and lens correction
  • retouched the telephone cables with dt
  • added a bit more vibrance etc. with color balance rgb

Certainly some stunning edits. But it does look like I’ll get better retouching using Gimp to clone out the power lines rather than darktable.

Hello,

Here is a colourful version (DT 4.0), personally, I would leave the cables
