Can't stop myself

[vulcan2912]

Hi guys

My thread on Carlisle(other piccies section) made me think about how I get into a post processing technique and then absolutly do it to death. I did this when I first learned the Orton technique,same with HDR,reprocessed 15000 photos with my action for Lucis Art etc etc etc.Until I got the infrared camera I'd never processed a picture to black and white.I accidently added a colour tone onto one while processing and really liked the effect.I then spent ages converting old pictures(and new ones) to mono and adding various colour tones to them.Just about got the toning bug out of my system-not the black and white though.
Anyway,heres a few.Really liked this kind of thing at the time but not so sure on some of them now.













Even started toning my ir stuff.







Cheers
Gary

Got to say they are total bollocks!

Only kidding, only just seen this thread so i'm not one of the guilty twenty. In my expert opinion (cough cough) i dont really like the black and white ones, they seem a tad too dark, maybe its my moniter though, however i really like the yellowy ones, especially Wasdale Head and church with the arch, they seem to have a lot more texture to the image.

some of them work and others do nowt for me at all
this one
garyforsyth.smugmug.com/photos/125579766-L.jpg looks ace, and I would love to go there at night and have some bright red lights coming from the inside of the building

I am totally hooked on these guys who paint with light, especially with abnormal colours
before my computer went totally 'tits up' I had a whole bunch of what I consider stunning sites that paint with light, somew of these places in this series would look really good with that effect

also like the Rape field one, although the horizon is level, the actual flower heads look uneven therefore kinda making it look odd
