Sometimes I like taking just one image and playing with it in Photoshop to see what differences I can make. This image is of the roof space in Salts Mill, Saltaire, which isn't normally open to the public. During the recent Saltaire Festival there was an exhibition up there, so I was able to explore and take photographs of this awe-inspiring space, originally a spinning shed full of machinery. (For more information please refer to my other blog.) The above was the original photo SOOC.
Here I enhanced the colours a bit.
A monochrome treatment is the obvious thing to do.....
...and sepia toning suits the historic nature of the subject...
... or perhaps even antiqued a bit more.
But I think my own favourite is this effect. I can't claim the treatment is original. I found some really interesting effects to download on Ree Drummond's excellent blog 'The Pioneer Woman Photography'. This particular one recreates the faded greenish effect of old seventies photographs and somehow I think it really suits this subject. (Click photo to view large).
