More Stonehenge #2

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 5 March 2008 in Landscape & Rural.

I decided to play around with layer masks and smart filters while doing this image; this is the result of 5 layer masks to convert it to an infrared B&W shot and a smart filter to add the grain. Listening to Scorpio Rising is always an inspiration!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Beautiful. I like the grain. It makes it look very old.

This is a stunning process, great stuff. Looks like it was taken at night with a high ISO
