Big Apple Circus
Museum of Modern Art
From the ongoing series about people reacting, or not reacting, to art in museums.
The Silver Efex software can have a certain “look” which I’m exploiting in this picture, though I’m not sure whether I like it or not.
Blakeslee, Pennsylvania
I’m still working on this one in Silver Efex. To my great annoyance, the image loses a lot of contrast when uploaded to this site, even though it looks good on my computer.
Salt Pond, Blue Hill, Maine
A cold and gloomy evening, the light fading fast just past sunset, frosty silence over the salt pond. The December light looks blue in the original image, but with my new software I feel that I have been given Tri-X and an orange filter again, and all is right.
Chelsea
Another black and white conversion using Silver Efex, needs more work, but already more interesting than the original color image that I put up in my post about Chelsea a month ago. A photographer named Willardt put some of his pictures up on a wall facing Eleventh Avenue and a shadow fell across this one in the late afternoon sun.
Ellsworth, Maine
Here is another conversion of a color digital image that has been crying to appear in black and white, as I originally envisioned it. I loved the soft window light falling on these antique carriages in an old barn in Ellsworth, Maine and the cross in the background formed by the window panes. Still feeling my way through Silver Efex Pro.
