This is probably one of my least processed shots in terms of manipulation, to be honest. If memory serves it had:

- hot pixel removal
- saturation adjustment
- curves adjustment

The old Vivitar flash I was using has a set of plastic barn doors I rigged up for it that both hold the gel on and also help me keep the light from going where I don't want it. That's why there's such a clean separation of the violet gel from the building, that and I believe I was off to one side rather than flashing it from the front. This was mainly out of a desire not to step in a large badger hole in front of the building and fall on my face. Again.

I think I spent half of this shot trying to get my nose to stop bleeding.

On the whole, I do tend to post process heavily so I find it ironic that one of my least processed shots is the one that attracts the most finger pointing. :-)

In other news, I'm getting back into light painting. My new work will be appearing at 52weeksoflight.ca after Jan 1, 2009.

Hi Sean,
Beautiful shot!.. However.... there must be a significant amount of 'post-processing' here, and to what degree? There should be a load of violet gel colour also on the boarding on the front of the building. The colours are way too separated surely and the light areas on the underside of the roof boarding is disjointed. huge amounts of post-processing surely!?
