Evidence of Friday?

Farnham, Surrey

Two more snow images, another lesson in exposure. These were converted to B&W using Fujifilm’s ACROS film curve in Capture One. You can see that they’re not as cool as the last image. They’re also a bit gray – brightening anymore was creating hot spots. The better solution would have been to set the correct exposure in the camera, not afterwards.

We had a little snow a couple of weeks ago. Shooting snow is always interesting. The camera’s meter is aiming for an average luminescence of something like 18% gray so the images will be too dark unless you brighten them up. Also, depending on the sky, the images will often be on the cool side.

Another Public Footpath

Farnham, UK

I’ve written about this before. While the English still abhor the enclosure of the commons centuries ago, and the encroachment of the private on public spaces, to an American, the ubiquity of public footpaths crossing private land for rambling in the countryside is almost miraculous.
