Description ...

No, I did not color those roofs...

...But I've obviously edited this a bit, a little mucking about with PS... It's not really a manipulation, but it's not really a "darkroom" either, so I guess I'll have to categorize it as a manipulation to keep dA happy.

Edit: Put this back into my main gallery.

it looks great!
actually i am not wondering about the roofs - they look pretty "normal", but i am wondering about the sky?
looks fantastic - did you use any filters, or simply play with PS?

Thank you! I honestly don't remember exactly what I did with with this image. I think maybe one of the things I did was to run it through one of the many odd add-on filters I had installed at the time. As a small digression I'll mention that I have since unstalled all these filter packages and now I usually only use plain contrast and saturation adjustments as I feel that I have more control over the quality that way.

Completely amazing.

I love the red roof, it looks like flames. Great post production, the clouds and the grass are amazing. The clouds look agressive and with high contrast, making you feel afraid of a storm, while the grass looks a bit more calmed, but still not peaceful. I could stare at this for hours.

bkm In reply to Lunaaa [2004-07-08 13:27:52 +0000 UTC]

Thank you I basically just added some lightshading and contrast techniques via PS, no heavy manipulations. Took me about 3+ hours to get the color and contrast adjustments right without ruining the details and the original theme in the image. I guess I'm still a somewhat ineffective PS user.

bkm In reply to LotteS [2004-07-08 07:26:34 +0000 UTC]

I actually knew you wouldn't like it Lotte. It's quite a "dark" piece really. You could say it is kind of a threathening "entity" in a way. I'm proud of this creation, because I think it's one of the better ones I've done post-production wise. But I completely understand why you don't like the "feel" of it, and I don't really mind. Thank you for your input

Oh...youΒ΄re welcome.
And youΒ΄re right. IΒ΄d alwys try to get pics lighten.
But itΒ΄s not threathening...
The colours of the roofs, the clouds, the grass are really nice.
And maybe I just donΒ΄t like it today because itΒ΄s raining the whole day.
Anyway...I think you know what I mean.

bkm In reply to ALIENLABS [2004-07-08 07:36:55 +0000 UTC]

Thank you!

If you look at the category I put it in you will see that I put it in the "darkroom" category. The reason for why I put it there is that while the image has original scene and theme completely intact (meaning; no heavy manipulation), I've enhanced certain aspect of the lighting and colors in post production.
