[photos] several from Isle of Wight
Finally got back to some of the photos from overseas. Had a
great day at Osborne House, Isle of Wight. Queen Victoria loved this place, and in fact was her final resting place. I didn't think that much of this shot in colour, but quite like the B&W. What do you think? Too busy in the foreground, or effective? I find it interesting to look at, all the angles, lines and stairs etc. http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...g_6887_hdr.jpg Small piece of Piggins trivia - Queen Victoria's grandchildren called her "Gangan" instead of grandma etc. My brother and I also called my grandmother, who loved the royal family, "Gan-gan". Brings a tear to your eye, doesn't it? http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al..._01/gangan.jpg Moving right along... The Needles rock formation, lighthouse and battery. Man, it was sooo windy out there. I had to wrap my arm around a fence post to stabilise myself for some of these. I had so much going on trying to concentrate - wind, worried about exposure with the white cliffs, haze. Not really happy with the results, but meh... http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...1/img_6922.jpg http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...1/img_6934.jpg And finally this really cool medieval church on top of the hill at Godshill. Was instantly liking this place. Gravestones right up to the building on all sides, stark trees with heaps of crows nests and crows in the trees - ooooh, spooky. http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...g_6992_0_1.jpg http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...0_08_09_bw.jpg And that concludes our journey... http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...-3_cropped.jpg -- Troy Piggins I always appreciate critique. |

The Church one- why not play Contrast, and bump it up a lot and see if you like that. And that concludes our journey... http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...-3_cropped.jpg Ah, yes, very similar to one you've posted before, the JMWT one. While Turner-esque, the colors are way too muted. Thanks for posting; nice work! -- John McWilliams Coach: "Are you just ignorant, or merely apathetic?"

Yeah, that's what I thought. Not the effect I was after, but I'll take it The Church one- why not play Contrast, and bump it up a lot and see if you like that. Thought about that. Thanks for the tip.

I had so much going on trying to concentrate - wind, worried about exposure with the white cliffs, haze. Not really happy with the results, but meh... There is a lttle loss in detail in the white cliff but it's not too bad. I like it better with most of the foreground cropped out leaving the white cliff in the lower right corner. The second photo I like as is. http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...1/img_6922.jpg http://piggo.com/~troy/photos.php?al...1/img_6934.jpg And finally this really cool medieval church on top of the hill at Godshill. Was instantly liking this place. Gravestones right up to the building on all sides, stark trees with heaps of crows nests and crows in the trees - ooooh, spooky. It does have a little bit of a spooky feel to it. That would be an excellent spot to try painting with light. If you could go back at night and light up the gravestones it would look great.
