Another shot of the turbulent waters of the Roe Valley Park:

This was tricky to print...difficult to retain detail in the dark areas while trying to get some texture showing in the lighter parts. I can't say I totally succeeded with the latter, in spite of a mega-long burn-in. I thin there's a little more detail in the negative which could be teased out but this was the last sheet of MG Classic paper I had, so I left it there.
I added a yellow-green filter for this shot, which lightened the foliage and at the same time darkened the water. It looks more like a cinder path than a fast-flowing river:

The photos look good on my screen, and I'm sure they look much better seen directly. I wouldn't mind having a sit-down by that river with a book and a cup of tea.
ReplyDeleteThanks. There definitely are worse places to find yourself in. I doubt you’d ever tire of the Country Park. And it’s changing all the time as the seasons come and go.
