Handbook of Photography
Henney and Dudley, Whittlesey House. 1939.
Picked this up today at the car boot sale at Matford, Exeter, for £1.50. It's full of diagrams and formulae - probably a lot that isn't relevant these days, but I don't suppose the way light travels through glass has changed much since the 1930s.
Taken on the rusty metal steps that lead up to the front door of our flat. Processed in onOne's Perfect B&W. I originally took this one in B&W mode, but with the camera saving RAW+JPG, and Aperture using the JPG as the master. I switched it over to the RAW file to get the colour, then applied the 'Ansel in the Valley' filter in Perfect B&W. I then used the colour brush at just 7% intensity to brush a little bit of colour back into the book. I don't usually like the selective colour look, but it can be nice when used sparingly enough. I think I quite like it here. Capturing the RAW gave me that option, which was useful, though it is at the expense of some much bigger files.
