Rainbow





Well, it's been quite a while since I last posted. A holiday, a week left of leave and a lot of traveling and I'm now back at work with a lot of pictures on my laptop and I'm not sure where to start. So here are a couple of black and white conversions I've done. Taken on the Isle of Lewis. The first one I decided was quite dull in colour, even if it did have a double rainbow in it. Did a black and white conversion in photoshop and used a path to create a selection of the rainbow. Used the refine edge option to blend in the selection with the surrounding sky and then deleted the black and white rainbow section of the layer.

Second is just a straight black and white conversion from the Gearrannan blackhouse village done in photoshop.

  5. Very nice! The straining post and it's shadow seem to be reaching toward the rainbow and really enhance the shot.

  8. I can almost see the smoke coming from the chimneys and hear the sound of the looms clacking - I`m not going to commend your work with useless adjectives, the photographs speak for themselves.
