Finally! - Nottingham University

[macs]

Took this a few months ago but only got round to processing it recently. Wasn't really sure how I was going to process it but thought that a 5 minute exposure needed to be processed in some form or other.

I saw a fellow Flickr-ite process one of his shots (of a completely different building) so that it was dark and broody and thought that this shot deserved a crack at it so this is the outcome, which I am pretty happy with even if it's not my normal style.

I hope you like it...

not much... it is not strong enough an image to stand on its own.
It woud serve as a detail in a set though.

Doesnt do anything for me, its just not conveying anything.

I quite like it, but wonder why you'd need to take five mins to expose that?

Personally like it! This is a image that will get alot of mixed Opinions!

I would say one of the reasons this doesn't really work for folks is the lack of tonality. The processing has left the image looking too flat.

Have a look at Joel's site here: http://www.bwvision.com/ for some great examples.

If I exposed for any less time there was still texture in the sky and I wanted it to be completely smooth so the building stood out from the sky.

I quite liked this shot but maybe I was just happy that the processing worked the way I wanted it to more than the actual shot itself, I can't remember thinking it was a naff shot when I first saw it after uploading to computer.

I'll have a proper look at those later, thanks for the link
