Thank you very much

I like this a lot Nick. Nice composition and the lighting makes it rather atmospheric.

Very old, very deep and moving. Bursting with history how Ivy takes over. Spot on.

Nice subject. Possibly lighten the gravestones and darken the background to give more focus.

Thanks for the feedback, appreciated,

Great processing on the grave stones, the colours look great.

 

[Nikon_Nick]

Thanks Pete

Thanks Maybe that could be a Photoshop challenge.

Challenge accepted...


Interesting that you went for a filmic feel to the shot, I felt it almost had the beginnings of the 'toy' feel that Tilt Shift often has (though not quite).

Ha ha nice!

I see what you mean about the tilt shift feel, but I’ve added nothing in the edit to give that effect, it was taken at 105mm and f4, so all natural DOF

 

[SimonH]

That's a lovely shot and a nice DOF

 

[Nikon_Nick]

Thanks Simon

The composition and dof work really well with the light on the tree branch - they concentrate the eye on the stones. I really like this shot.

Had a little set up in the kitchen today. LED light panel, so that I could achieve some visible streaks. Tripod, and shot taken at 2.5 seconds. Shutter opened, Waited a second, move the camera, shutter closed. Hope you like it.

Cracking shot Nicke and good one for the tech, like how you did it.

That really is impressive. The camera movement works very well.
Did you do it handheld or use some kind of moving platform?

Thanks David. Camera was mounted on a tripod with a panning head, so I just loosened it off then just rotated the head.

 

[AlanDorset]

That really works, excellent.

Thank you Alan, appreciate that.

Excellent image Shirley. I'd be interested to see it without the blue tint.

Thanks. I suppose I could edit the shot to a different colour, but this was taken with an LED panel set to blue as my light source

That's a fab shot!

Thanks Simon, and no problem.

I thought there were two glasses until I notice the light streaks joining them together. Nice shot and very good technique too.

I must admit, when I first saw it I thought, "That was lucky that the ICM started on one glass and then ended on the other" I almost posted it too when I realised...

Very imaginative and technically really well produced. It creates quite a striking image.

Many thanks Peter. My name is Nick but @Cobra started calling me Shirley a few years ago. Unfortunately, neither of us can remember why

Nicely done Nck. I like the colour and it's a lovely use of ICM.
