Did some shooting recently inside our barn. Wasn't easy to shoot since the light is very low in there, but got a number of good shots. This was taken in the stairway leading up to the loft. A shaft of light was shining in through a crack illuminating the axe marks on this beam. Any C&C are welcome!
Olympus SP-550 UZ
f4.3 @ 1/6, ISO 400
Manual mode, pattern metering, cloudy WB
Processed in PS CS2; cropped, curves adjustment, converted to B&W with channel mixer, and darkened ULC, URC, and left side
Christopher, Good thinking using the light shining through the crack to illuminate the board. I wish for more sharpness. I also see some light area in URC that I might crop out if it were mine. I look forward to the rest of the series!!
Thanks Denise. Here's a repost with the light area in the URC cloned out and some more sharpening. I'll be sure to post the other shots as I get a chance!
Christopher, I just opened it up a bit with levels after taking a second look at it I felt it was a bit dark,the histogram was all the way to the left , but your removal of the URC looks good.
Really interesting pattern here Chris but the comp isn't quite doing it for me. I'd go back with a little more light so you can get some good, sharp detail and really drive in close to get an abstract that fills the frame.
