Shadow & Light

 
 By: flamenco : July 11th, 2015-05:38

Not been posting of late due to work & family commitments.  Busy is the word ... but never too busy to shoot (really relaxes me)
Been fascinated with shadow & light of late, after a brief (and wonderful) encounter with a M Monchrome belonging to a friend late last year. 


Without further ado ... 

















































































































































Shot with various cameras, lenses, over the past 7 mths or so & across various locales Taipei, Beijing, Tokyo, Singapore ... and places I fail to recall by now. 
Thank you for looking ....

These pictures are amazing ! The B&W really makes these (architectural) pictures look so damn great smile !!!! Thank you Flamenco-man ;-) Bim PS. I'm especially intrigued by this picture, did you take it in an old abandoned warehouse ?




Rag & Bone (Pickers)

Losta stuff at the rag & bone shops , not sure if its working though. Sold as antiques these days.  

Its a "Made in Taiwan" brand. In its hayday, Taiwan was the world's factory, until China came along

 

Am a keen audiophile meself, and it certainly brought back memories ....  

 

Thank you for looking Bim !

Very nice B&W conversions, lightroom plugin?  Some "Good Choices" ; )
In fact you could have grouped the images for a number of different series by theme.

The close ups (88 & abacus for example) and the buildings are well executed... Thanks for looking back and I understand the part about being busy.

Light and shadow is a fascinating subject, really open ended...

Nothing escapes u ...

They all started out as coloured photos wink 

LR4 + NIK plug in ... using various filters, added some grain in some of the photos

And can u believe its my first time shooting in Tokyo, with proper equipment that is. Had limited time, so I hope to be back with more time for a more measured shoot.

 

Been wanting to post more ... gotta get round to doing that !

posting is good... even single shots ;) [nt]

Thank you for sharing them.

How much post processing, if any, did you do with these?

LR + NIK (Plug-in)

 
 By: flamenco : July 13th, 2015-19:35

Relatively minimal post processing. Sharpening and grain (noise for a film like effect) via LR. Some cropping where necessary for composition.

NIK B&W plug in comversion (photos where all taken in colour). Orange & Green filters are my favourites since its gives good contrast in strong light (to my eye at least)

One thing I do is processing each photo individually, although LR allows processing by batch, and that takes time.

 

In all honesty, hate sitting in frnt of the computer for hours ... so minimal suits me best !

 

Thanks for looking !

Awesome series mate
