A Wintery City Walls Road
Photo Information
Taken in January this year with the Q.
I was going for a blown highlight style vintage effect for this shot which I think works well with the snow-capped street. Almost a Victorian feel, with the street sign being the only giveaway to the era which I think creates a bit of a juxtaposition.
I was also feeling a little adventurous with this shot. Taken in manual mode and set to black and white jpeg. The only post processing I did was to correct a bit of barrel distortion which is inherent on the Q. I wanted to see if I could get 'in camera' the look I was after.

Very well realised and top marks for getting the effect straight out of camera as well

Thanks guys. I actually sold a print of this last week. My client wanted it on her mantle-piece as it reminded her of Narnia from the Lion The Witch & The Wardrobe.

Just to make clear what I did here if anyone wants to try it for themselves, the only effect 'in camera' that I made use of for this shot was to simply have it in black and white mode. The main contributor to the look and feel of this shot I would say is down to the exposure used. I over exposed this to blow out the highlights somewhat.

An interesting effect, Bob. I've been trying to do similar things recently but using Photoshop.
Best wishes,
Andrew
