you should see the print, Mal.... a killah :-)

Mal Smart Great, I can't wait V, did you give it the full copper/bronze treatment?

Vernon Trent just a slight bronze toning and darkblue-black like baryte print.
man, never thought that this would be possible :)

Mal Smart cool, that's another thing that you need to teach me!

Vernon Trent sure ;)

Codrin

Mal Smart thank you Codrin, I only had 1 day out of 20 in France where I had some great clouds to work with, this location was a great find to. all the best. mal

Eric Rousset 4 years ago

Very nice waterscape, rocks amaze me.Nice contrast & sharpness on this B&W.

Mal Smart cheers Eric. The production is slightly more agresive that I would normally do, it was an experiment to produce a more punchy result, I had some good advice from VT with this one. mal

Very powerful! Love it! :-)

Mal Smart thank you Daniel, very much appreciated. mal

Mal, you caught those wonderful tones in the sky and sea again. Very nice. But to me the harsh/edgy (?) processing of the rocks does not fit with that smoothness... Probably just me...
/Thomas
PS You know Jacob is pulling your leg right? That english translation is sooooooo far from the truth... ;-) DS

Mal Smart I suspect that Jacob is having a little joke with me, but that is ok, I don't mind.

This is processed a little differently, I like the punchy contrast and sharpness but I suspect that it does not suit everyone. Thank you Thomas, all the very best. mal

stunning shot and work Mal, could look at that all day long, simply a joy to look at and admire.

Mal Smart many thanks Tim, I like this one to, I guess that I just love photographing the ocean, sometimes I get lucky. all the nest Tim. mal

Nuno Milheiro 4 years ago

The composition and b/w tones are very nice but i find the sharpness a bit agressive... and with strong halos around the rocks lines.

Regards

Mal Smart Good point Nuno, this is a more punchy result than I would normally aim for, perhaps a little too much, thank you for your constructive input. all the best. mal

Emily Bem 4 years ago

Yes, well at least you can get your "same old rubbish" published...hehe!:))) Mal, this is really lovely! There is something dreamy and still almost aggressive that's hard to explain. Superb tonality...even without the green ;)

Mal Smart I bribe all the crew screeners, still have not heard what your fee is yet!...;))) Cheers Em, I got a few good tips from VT on the production of this one. I will try a green one next, lol! mal

Emily Bem Hmmm. A fee, huh?
Well, when you find out, let me know. I want my slice ;)

Mal Smart I can't tell you how much I pay the other crew screeners, that would be unethical, you need to let me know how much you want, we can start negotiations from there!....

Emily Bem L M A O !

Yes, we must be ethical. Got it. I have a lot to learn about my new life as a screener.

:)

Mal Smart ;)))))

Vernon Trent call ethic helpline 0800-ETHICHELP
you may get some help in negotiating with mal :-)))

Mal Smart lol - I paid your extortionate bill this morning V, I hope that the bank has cleared it?....

Emily Bem Oh, thanks Vernon! I wouldn't want to be taken advantage of!!!

;))))))

Mal Smart You would be ripped off yet again, VT runs that help line!.....

Emily Bem Damn. Can't trust anyone around here.

;)

Mal Smart lol.
