This image took a little bit of a processing journey to arrive in the form you see above. Captured on Ektar, scanned at North Coast, imported into Lightroom. Cropped, then exported for processing into Nik Silver Efex: Pulled 1 stop, Delta 100 film preset (mainly for the color rendering), then selenium toned.
I liked the dreamy quality of the combination. This image was shot in Redwood Shores, California, on the trip in the middle of February. It was very foggy that morning.
This is simply beautiful Chris. This does look like something from a dream. Well done.
I agree it does look like a dream, I am waiting for someone to walk out from the left side.
Very nice, Chris. You put a lot of effort into this and it has paid off.
Interesting. As I waited for the comment screen, I thought my comment would have to do with how the image made me feel as though I were in a dream. You certainly did everything right with this one. The processing was all worth it.
Cedric, thank you so much.
Don, thank you again for taking a look at my work.
Paul, I don’t know whether I worked it too much or not. We’ll see whether it holds up for me in a week or so.
Anita, it’s so good to know you’re feeling well and back visiting!
Great work, Chris. The composition is spectacular… very inviting.
Thanks, Ed.
