The Old Convent

Something a little different from me here. A3 shot HDR of the old Convent, Penola Road Mt Gambier this afternoon with powerful stormy clouds in the background.

When processing this the effects were quite different than my normal HDR’s but I liked the outcome even though it is almost comic book style.

Thought I’d throw it up here for comment both good and bad to see what others think. Not something I’d like to do often but the different style interested me.

Canon 400D – 18- 55 lens at 22 CIR polarising filter, processed in Photomatix.

    I like it Steve. I’ve been playing around with some different processing techniques (not HDR) and getting a similar look – suits some images more than others. This looks great

    I think it works well Steve, but maybe if the car park was a bit old school with a few vintage black limousines parked there it could look quite spooky.

    I like this, very dramatic. Have you tried to sell this to the owners?

  • Steve Chapple replied

    Dropped in an 8×10 for them but haven’t heard back. Its recently been bought by Gunns in a takeover from AusPine so not sure what is happening to it at the moment…
