Stonehenge #3
Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 12 February 2008 in People & Portrait.
I'm not so much suffering a creative drought at the moment but rather I haven't had a chance to get out and shoot some new stuff!
This is the same shot as seen here, but converted to B&W with a hint of an infrared filter to provide some atmosphere!
As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)
@e.: Thanks E.

In this case, I believe the B&W is more effective.

I do like the b/w more for the drama. The b/w really gives it that fantastical atmosphere... but I think it needs less foreground because of the b/w... more of a panoramic crop?

@amy: Thanks for the feedback Amy, I do disagree with you on both points, I prefer both the colour shot and the amount of foreground in the image, but it's always nice to get another view! Panoramic crop seems to be your words for the week! :)

I really do like this in b&w, although the sky is nowhere near as effective in this as it is in the colour version.

Like the BW, prefer the original colour though. You should try a free photoshop plugin called Virtual photographer, it allows you to play around with some interesting bw effects, which could be fun with this shot.

Great black and white shot, the sun sort of dwarfs the mysterious stones.
