If you can borrow an old copy of Photoshop and not happy with your monitor (for seeing colours), you can always click "auto color" and then post?

That is Miles better, nothing like my monitor image, I have only had the lightroom a week, I must be doing something wrong as even Auto does not remove the cast, makes it worse if anything.

Well the improvement I posted is to my taste, but others might say "reduce the blue a bit"??????

yes you have made the dark grey cloudy sky bright blue like a summers day, but it has pointed me in the right direction which I appreciate.

I don't think I should be cluttering up this image thread with chit chat.

Woe is me

Well I agree about background clouds but only you know that o_O , and I couldn't find away of getting dark grey clouds without affecting the other colours.....maybe it's the film or developing problem? Anyway I think i got away with this shot for background cloud:-

I don't know the area Stephen.

And being honest I don't know the road or how far away from Wakefield I was, possibly 35 or 40 minutes.

When out, photography wise, I tend not to route plan and take the quickest route, quite the opposite, as long as going in the right general direction I will take any road that looks interesting.

Sorry I cant be more help.
 
First roll through Minolta Dynax 5 with kit lens 28-80. First play with Fomapan400@320 in Rodinal 1:50.... all frames pretty thin.

Cornish engine house in Anglesey copper mine. (quite a few odd marks in plain areas.....not sure if they are of my making.)

Fomapan 400 in HC110

PP - Adjust Black and white set points, then went back to original as it was better.

I liked the contrast between the curves of the three steps and then the angles of the three handrails shooting up towards the three buildings

I looked up Bill Brandt after you posted this with the picture title, very interesting photographer.
Sad that his photograph didn't result in any pride showered on the location, but could also be translated as a general, what appears to me, decline in appreciation of historical photographic artistry.

Or maybe I not Lookin in reet places.
 
Perhaps looking in established histories of photography would yield better results than the more modern reliance on information read from LCD (Lowest Common Denominator) screens rather than paper. :)

Narrow gauge steam train Utrillas, interesting that the train was Made in Germany, spent its life in service in Spain and now resides in Lancashire.

The snicket is a little overgrown, but the area around the snicket is all well preserved and developed, the original mill buildings put to new uses as hotels, offices, restaurants and such like.

The snicket itself leads to a railway bridge and then a footpath that takes you up to a main road and I expect that the footpath is a bit overgrown through lack of use rather than deliberate neglect. I also expect that, unless you are interested in photography or Bill Brandt's work, then the location probably means little to most people. A lot of photographers will probably be unaware of Bill Brandt's Halifax work, much less anyone else, so the location is more of a curio / footnote in history.

I'm happy it's still there and still closely resembles how it looked when Brandt made his picture.

Thanks for that Info.

It must be great fun there in winter covered in snow when the local kids are going down on their sledges.

do they still have those?
