Dusted off the Sigma 10 - 20 mm wide angle lens

Got this just before the heavens opened

Great atmospheric shot - love the textures.

 

[Norfolkbloke]

Fantastic conversion, very moody!

I know from personal experience it's a bit of a climb to the top but the views across the levels is well worth it!

Nice tones in this, as said above, very moody.

 

[Dave in Wales]

A tad over PP'd for my taste.

 

[Peter B]

I like it Les and I think the PP works well, but the bottom is a wee bit much for my taste and I'm wondering if a crop might help the shot? I'm guessing not for you as you've made a very clear compositional choice here, but just a thought.

 

[Deleted member 34016]

Thanks all for the comments- I like the composition and the PP- but each to their own I guess

Really like that Les. Comp is good, and the atmosphere youve created with the PP really works for me.

Have you tried walking up Glastonbury Tor?

Not since I was a kid with my dad a good few years ago, might give it a go next time I stay in the area but being a norfolkman I'm not blessed with natural hill climbing abilities in my genes!!

Neither of them are steep.........................
I'm not usually keen on black and white landscapes but that's a very different take on it Lez. I can see I need to think more laterally next time I'm there.

Thank you - Glad you like it and for the record it is a very steep hill

 

[Neil Burnell]

Love it Les! Really like the PP work you have done here, but I'm a sucker for B&W conversions especially when they are moody like this. The only it of the photo I'm not keen on is the white/blown sky in the distance, it detracts from the church a little IMO.

Thank you Neil, the sky was indeed a problem, I may go back to The Mump again, its a 10 min walk from my House

Love it Les! Great POV and an excellent conversion.

 

[drounding]

The POV and the converging lines of the hill and cloud make this a great shot.Really dramatic in B&W.

 

[cargo]

Yep great composition love it.

[Delta Skies]

Very dramatic Les. I like it

 

[Oddshapedoctopus]

Great drama in the shot. Processing suits the scene. Well done.

Cheers Duncan, The colour version was a bit dull to be honest

Yep great composition love it.

Thank you Gaz, that's the beauty of a 10mm lens

Very dramatic Les. I like it

Thank you Peter, 10 minutes later the heavens opened and I had to make haste back to the Car

Great drama in the shot. Processing suits the scene. Well done.

Thank you Simon

I love the "moodiness" in this.
B/W works great here and I also like the "almost" reflection of the tones of the sky on the ground.
Well done!

 

[gramps]

Good angle on this well-known location, makes it a little less 'usual'.
I think the conversion works extremely well on the sky but, as is often the case with grass, it has come out with a very rough texture.

I agree 100% Roger- just a mess around in Photoshop CS 5 see what I could come up with, not used my 10-20mm Lens for some time
so thought I'd give it a go- I actually had to sit on wet grass to get this shot

Now if you had gone to the top and slid down a few times you could have flattened the grass out!
