I had taken several photos before Cole and Chloe came over and was heading up to process the images when I noticed the light on JD’s sewing machine. I really like the way the lighting was falling on the various parts of the scene; so, out came the tripod and down went the camera on it. I immediately decided that I would process the photo as a black and white and wanted the overall tone of the image to be low-key photograph.
I think that the overall treatment complements the subject matter.
Camera settings: Nikon D3, 17-35mm at 17mm, f/2.8, shot at ISO 200, f/22 and 3 seconds on a tripod
Post Processing:
Lightroom—set white and black point, and added mid-tone contrast.
Photoshop—used nik Silver Efex Pro with antique preset to convert image to B&W.
Beautiful shot Patrick!
ReplyDeleteGood job noticing how nicely the window light was lighting the scene! I really like the soft shadows on the wall behind the sewing machine.
Well done!

Great shot. Good eye to notice what was right in front of you. As photographers, we too often pass over scenes that are part of our every day life. Keep taking these types of photographs.

I agree with Barry. The soft shadows are what makes this pix look good. Your post processing is excellent. It fits with the scene.
