I recently had a little adventure travelling to the Western Isle via Ullapool and a CalMac Ferry. This image is one of many made during the adventure.

#1 Inside with a little bit of selective colour



#2 for those who don't know about these blackhouse buildings , this is the same house exterior

Peter, very nice images. I especially like #1.

#1 is killer, well done.

#1 captures life in a different time very well. Don't usually like selective colour but in this case I think it adds to the image.

[Shadowman]

Nice set.

[rpcrowe]

Interesting images - well done...

Yesterday I was looking at an ad on tv which has selective colouring on it and I thought it is very beautiful. The same as this one you have in #1 here, very good quality. Very tasteful. Good composition too.

Thanks Izzie, I just wish that I had had time to wait for the sun to move around such that it's Ray's were centred on the peat fire. The sunlight ray's were coming through the very small window which is just visible in the roof to the left of the entry on the second image. But I do have another image taken from the opposite side of the room which is slightly better but you see less of the rooms

Upload it and let us see...Your shot there is really interesting...I'd print that one if it is mine...

Your second shot looks over sharpened to my eyes and/or monitor, but both are not at their best.

However, that first one is excellent. Selective colour is often IMO overdone and used to try to enhance an otherwise average photo, but not on your first shot. I think it enhances an already very well executed shot. A good example of less is more.

Here it is Izzie just for you, no selective colour in this version

Thanks for looking and commenting Dave, I suspect the sharpening issue you mention may be caused by an interaction between the forum and Flickr due to resizing.

[Tringa]

Know what you mean Peter. I have seen some of my shots that have appeared on a forum look somewhat different from how they look on my PC. That interior colour shot is cracker too.

This last coloured one is beautiful too...why didn't you tell me you are going to this place? I could have tag-a-long... I've looked at this again and I think it needs a perspective correction...the door is leaning to the right and the cabinet near the table is leaning to the left or my eyes is not that good too early in the morning...but the scene, the light shining from whatever hole at the top and the cooking area, the whole scene is actually very nice. Do you have other photos from the same trip?

Izzie Thank you I'm glad you like these image, you would have been most welcome to tag along.

To understand the perspective you really would have to be inside this building (but you would have come out smelling like a kipper) to grasp how out of kilter everything is. I don't believe anything was level/vertical. This is probably best recognised in the colour image by looking at the undulations in the stone floor, which makes the furniture in the room lean in different directions.
I do have more images of this trip, but I wouldn't want to bore people with my holiday snapshots

[IzzieK]

How about this one? I did my best... This took me one minute...

It was too late when noticed it, Peter. I already pressed the submit button. Do you want me to correct that one too?

Izzie compare the chain the kettle hangs on in my version then yours. The chain is probably the only item that is truly vertical in that room

At least it is something...I was too busy yesterday (with life that is) so I wasn't able to correct the table. I know John (2) taught me to use the Warp function a good while back...
