The abandoned barn in the forest

A 3 shot panorama of an old hay barn left over from pre-forestry days.

Croesor, Gwynedd, North Wales.

 

GF1 with 14-45 kit lens. No filters on this one.

The light varies a lot here, usually its very gloomy but while passing here this time, the evening light shone in and relit this lovely tranquil bit of forgotteness.

I am happy I've been able to capture a niceness to it this time.

Thanks

Pelao, I will be printing this and a few others I have posted here.

Will give it a go in monochrome, but feel its color is what makes this. When I convert it I'll post here for you to compare.

Thanks for your kind comments.

As requested, here's one I put through Silver Efex in CS4. I used a high contrast yellow filter and a slight tweak this time, but might play about and see what other effect I like.

Just for you guys, here's one 'warmed' up in Silver Efex by turning it into a Tintype and adding a sepia 3 filter to it.

Hope you like it.



By the way, I live about a mile from here, and walk the dog regularly past it.
As I mentioned, this is the first time I've been able to capture it in good light, its usually hidden in the gloom!

Could be your monitor needs profiling, just had mine done, and I know there's some magenta in the image but its not bad I dont think.

Thanks anyhow.

I think if your seeing purple, your monitor is way off.
There might be a slight magenta cast in it due to the reddy bracken and reddy brown of the tree's, but purple, definately no.

I have, and do profile my monitor every couple of weeks with a Color Munkey, its as accurate as I know, all prints I send off come back matching the screen and look perfect re exposure and colour values.

I know its off topic, but how many of you guys profile regularly, as well as print profile?

Ive just printed an A4 print just to check color, and it seems to match ok this end.

I know there is a slight magenta cast in the reds, but its not as bad as you've mentioned.

From your reply you sound as someone who should get their kit profiled, especially if you want to print from. Beleive me, when I first started in digital I would get my prints back with so much difference it was unbeleivable. When I started calibrating my monitor, it made a big difference. When I calibrated my printing too, it made so much sense as well as saving money in the end.
