Reclaimed and Repurposed

Compositionally Challenged, Week 15 Film Noir.

Sunday Sliders April 14, 2024

 

An abandoned mill, now inhabited by a pair of redtalk hawks, lots of pigeons and who-knows-all.

 

I shot the photo Saturday in sunlight, with high, thin clouds. In processing my raw file with PS Elements, I added clouds from an older image, using multiply blend mode. I then used a Nik Silver Efex preset (with slight adjustment) at 43% opacity to keep some color. Finished if off with a little dodging to lighten the area around the hawk, and with a vignette for the edges. My intent was to create dark and unsettling, using my digital darkroom.
