Taken by me Oly E520 14-54 4/3 lens, foul day pouring with rain but a very happy and beautiful bride. Post processing by Mr H thanks for looking.
I tried this shot in color, platinum, black and white, and this duotone/selective coloring kinda deal. How i came up with this one was to take the platinum image on the top layer, with the color underneath, then reduced the transparency of the platinum layer. I really like how it came out. I think it looks more interesting than just the solid layers. Date: circa June 2008 / Location: Lynn Harbor, Lynn, Essex, Massachusetts, USA / Photographer: FireLilyAMG/Allyssa L. Edwards / Camera: Kodak Easyshare dx7630 Feedback is always appreciated. You may not use my art, in any way, shape, or form, without complete written permission from me. I am no longer with AMI, so If you wish to use it, message me, and we’ll discuss any possibilities.

“Norham is a village in Northumberland, England, just south of the River Tweed and the border with Scotland. It is the site of the 12th century Norham Castle, and was for many years the centre for the Norhamshire exclave of County Durham. It was transferred to Northumberland in 1844. It was on the Tweed here that Edward I of England met the Scots nobility in 1292 to decide on the future king of Scotland. Sir Walter Scott gained fame as a poet, particularly with Marmion set around the Battle of Flodden in 1513. It begins: ‘Day set on Norham’s castled steep, / And Tweed’s fair river, broad and deep, / And Cheviot’s mountains lone: / The battled towers, the donjon keep, / The loophole grates where captives weep, / The flanking walls that round it sweep, / In yellow lustre shone.’ The 19th century Ladykirk and Norham Bridge is a late stone road bridge that connects the village with Ladykirk in the Scottish Borders. J.M.W. Turner always tipped his hat to Norham Castle, as it was the place which brought him fame as an artist. The picture of the castle which hangs in Tate Britain, luminously near-abstract, is one of the great treasures of the collection.” Shot taken just outside Norham Castle, Northumberland, with Panasonic Lumix G1, 45-200mm lens (1/500, f/5.6). RAW conversion via Lightroom and CS3. Selective colouring applied in CS3. Much better when viewed in a larger format. Also from the Norham series:

The rather spooky resident of the Chillingham Castle gardens with selective colouring applied to create a bloody effect upon his ‘crown’. Shot taken in the Victorian garden at Chillingham Castle, Northumberland, with a Panasonic Lumix G1, 14-45mm lens. RAW conversion via Lightroom and CS3. Much better when viewed in large format to see the full effect of the ‘bloody’ crown of thorns. Chillingham’s ghosts “Its current owners market the castle as being the most haunted castle in Britain. It has been investigated on television and radio (namely, Most Haunted, I’m Famous and Frightened!, Scariest Places On Earth, Holiday Showdown, Alan Robson’s Nightowls) and now Ghost Hunters International. The most famous ghost of the castle is the “blue (or radiant) boy”, who according to the owners used to haunt the Pink Room in the castle. Guests supposedly reported seeing blue flashes and a blue “halo” of light above their beds after a loud wail. It is claimed that the hauntings ceased after renovation work revealed the bodies of a man and a young boy bricked inside a 10-foot-thick wall. The owners also claim that the ghosts of John Sage, a former torturer, and of Lady Mary Berkeley haunt the castle. Guests have reported hearing screams for help and doors slamming mysteriously.” “The castle was originally a monastery in the late 12th century. In 1298, King Edward I, or “Edward Longshanks”, stayed at the castle on his way to Scotland to battle a Scottish army led by William Wallace. A window was specially installed for the king, a rarity in such buildings at the time. The castle occupied a strategically important location in medieval times: it was located on the border between two feuding nations. It was used as a staging post for English armies entering Scotland, but was also repeatedly attacked and besieged by Scottish armies and raiding parties heading south. The site contained a moat, and in some locations the fortifications were 12 feet thick. / The building underwent a series of enhancements, and in 1344 a Licence to crenellate was issued by King Edward III to allow battlements to be built, effectively upgrading the stronghold to a fully fortified castle, of quadrangular form. In 1617, James I, the first king of both England and Scotland, stayed at the castle on a journey between his two kingdoms. As relations between the two countries became peaceful following the union of the crowns, the need for a military stronghold in the area declined. The castle was gradually transformed; the moat was filled, and battlements were converted into residential wings. A banquet hall and a library were built.” Also from the Chillingham series: Bloody Crown of Thorns / Haunted / The Steps / Castle Perimeter / The Tree /
