Industrial Light & Magic

This photo was taken using a combination of hand held soft filters – homemade, actually. It has not been colourised with image-editing software. What you see, is what I took.

    even industrial lights can be breathtaking!

    what amazes me is what you say … “undoubtedly, I will receive the usual ‘great photo-shopping effects’ comments…”

    That does not come to my mind….and you will not get any from me ;).. as you know I don’t use PS or other software….. so I don’t thing a bout it hehe….

    A fav…....

    Can I say “nice use of home-mad filters”, then? Kind of looks like a tropical sunset, albeit with truncated, mechanical palms.

    “nice use of home-mad filters”

    hahaha – when you put it like that ;)

  • Jason Moses

    Jason Moses

    Ah, that’s what I get for paying so much attention to other people’s spelling and grammar. Yes, I like how you used those filters that are crazy about home =)

    Very interesting colours….care to share info about your homemade filters?

  • Mark Germancommunity host replied

    Sure :)
    A couple of coloured cellophane wrappers, and a pair of cheap service station sunglasses :)

    Who cares how, just as long as it IS!
    Have been playing with cellophane myself, but nothing as dramatic or as well executed as this. Love that hard contrast of the silhouette against the saturation of colours. Brilliant.

    There is something about doing it with practical filters in camera that PS doesn’t quite manage to capture. Nicely done. I am rather a fan of these industrial sunsets :)

    Great shot Mark. I’m glad you can sometimes see the world through cheap servo sunglasses!. A terrific example of the ‘Who needs Photoshop?’ school of thought.

    beautiful work. how the picture is created is about craftsmanship. of course something to admire, although in my understanding of art, the result counts. an that’s perfect here.

    Would be excellent to read about your experience with making those filters Mark. Material used, how you supported ‘em that sort of stuff. Getting increasingly interested in the idea of using filters.

    i do like the colors…though i wonder, in all frankness, how/whether creating them before or after the shot is relevant…?

  • Mark Germancommunity host replied

    It’s not, really – other than a matter of interest :)
