Back lit images are always tricky and this image has been no exception. The trick is knowing just how much to go into contrast without losing detail or there can be a tendency to head towards over processing. This particular image has also been awkward due to the healthy mixture of warm bracken bathed in winter light and the cold blue frost. I have tried to proses this image before, but I was always slightly bothered by the eccentric colours, but I felt it was time to let it out of the bag…

Been playing about doing a bit of urbex recently.

This Chevy sucks. No rust, decay or even a subtle scratch. Just too shiny.

I know, I know, it's a "pull-tab" not a pop top. This is from a can of Budweiser, the King of Beers (if you are to believe their advertising). This was left here by a visiting Euro beer-lover. When she's here she does enjoy US beer, like PBR and Bud. Of course, Corona and Heineken and other brands of beer are on the "acceptable to drink" list as well.

While processing this image, John Hiatt's "Riding with the King" was playing in my head. Here is a great rendition with Hiatt singing and Sonny Landreth playing lead on slide. The band is tight, the video and sound are excellent. Highly recommended. www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_CUzuitxSI

Je pars généralement du fichier RAW. Je règle la balance des blancs, l’exposition, le contraste et les couleurs, puis j’ajuste la netteté et le bruit avant d’exporter l’image.

En argentique, je choisissais la pellicule et sa sensibilité. Après la prise de vue, je développais le négatif dans les bains chimiques, puis je l’agrandissais sur du papier photosensible, en contrôlant le temps d’exposition et le contraste.

I usually start with the RAW file. I adjust the white balance, exposure, contrast and colors, then refine sharpness and noise reduction before exporting the image.

With film, I chose the type and sensitivity of the film. After taking the photographs, I developed the negative in chemical baths, then enlarged it onto light-sensitive paper, controlling the exposure time and contrast.

This is a foculation tank. It is used to treat poo. Basically everything on the ship is reduced, as much as possible, to constituent components and either recycled or burned. Ashes are taken ashore and carefully controlled 'sludge' (left over food courtesy of greedy fat Americans who take more than they can eat) is released into the ocean. I have been assured that the ship is very environmentally friendly.
