What is it about chipping paint that photographers love? This was on an old school bus that I found abandoned. It was actually horizontal but I thought it looked better as a vertical.

With an idea perhaps.

Just messing around with some old sparklers and a yellow light bulb. Inspired by an evening listening to Gavin Hoey!

Something a little different during sunrise.

This started out as a UCM (unintentional camera movement) shot while wandering around one of the University quarters in Oxford, late in the evening. I love to imagine those late-night academics settling down to nights of creative cogitation… it’s not all port and formal dinners, I guess.

It was a scrappy photograph (rated as one star which is barely keepable in my estimation), but looking back at it I rather liked the colours and shapes in the image so I thought I would have a play.

The play, as ever, turned out to be a bit of a marathon over several days. Out a fit of magnanimity, I shall spare you the horrible details (and results). Today I thought I would try Topaz Studio as I hadn’t been there for a while, and I quickly was reminded of how much fun this suite of filters is.

This image is based on the Dramatic Black and White preset that comes with the software, but I have reduced the opacity to let some of the original colours come through, giving it a washed-out look.

Topaz Studio is unsupported now, alas, and hasn’t been updated in a fair while so I am rather hoping some filter vendor will take it over as it’s quite unique and offers so much. Someone said that it’s available free now, or at least on a trial that never seems to end so, if you are interested, it may be worth adding to your collection.

Thanks for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday and 100x.

Lightbulb S: bit of fun with an earlier lightbulb shot trying to get the right texture and tone to the light in post. The "high key" background really brings out the shot =)
