Helpful Posts: When I realised that the Autumn colours weren't what I had hoped for at the Abbey, I went looking to see what else might be of interest. I had mono in mind but one had a splash of Autumn colour so I left it.

Re: Bolton Abbey mono (mainly).
The execution of the second photo is outstanding with the exception of the sharpening halos [EDIT: Now corrected]. The monk in ghost form in the last one is very cool.

Thanks Mike. That's what happens when you mess with the computer at the same time as posting images. I wasn't concentrating. Sharpening halos eliminated.

Re: Bolton Abbey mono (mainly).
Nice set, John. The little sun burst in #3 is a nice touch.
I am surprised to see the manicured lawns there. If it were here, I am sure it would be overgrown.

Re: Bolton Abbey mono (mainly).
Wow, I really like those, John. The mono processing looks great in all three. Was the lens flare introduced in #3? Although the monos are much more attractive (to me), I do like the yellows/oranges in #1.
Gotta love the ghost!

Nice set, John...the last one is eerie...I like all of them but I like the coloured one best.

Re: Bolton Abbey mono (mainly).
Thanks all for the comments.
Greg, it's quite a large estate and still in private hands (Duke of Devonshire I believe) but it is looked after very well. It's a major part of the tourist industry of the area.
Chris, the lens flare has been added in pp. The sun behind the priory wall produced a bright spot and so I thought why not.

Re: Bolton Abbey mono (mainly).
I still want to ask, John...was the ghost intentional or it just appeared when you processed it? I've been dying to ask that one for a while but I waited...and waited...and waited....It seems timely for the weekend event...

Thanks Binnur, David, Jim, Matt and Izzie.
I was photo bombed Izzie. They don't care you know.

No Izzie. Added in PP although the figure captured in the original shot of the monk must have been real enough.

Re: Bolton Abbey mono (mainly).
Nice series. I particularly like #3. How do you add lens flare to a shot?

Re: Bolton Abbey mono (mainly).
Thanks Joe. There are two ways that I know of and I use Photoshop. You can build it on layers or do what I do and invest in a Topaz Star effect plug-in which is much easier. I have a tutorial somewhere for the layers method. If you want to try it, I'll see if I can find it.
