I have been late this week. The reason is that I have just returned from Dubai.
For this one, I processed the photo using Topaz B&W Effects. I applied one of the filters from the Van Dyke collection. The Van Dyke process is, it seems, one of the older processes that have been used in the good days of film.
I then applied a very slight Viveza effect to boost the colour. And, that was it…

lovely photograph. i was curious, i had something come through on my fB stream, so, is Dubai as bad as they say it is?
Well, I don’t know what you – or they – mean by bad. I never feel like photographing in Dubai, because I find it very artificial and concrete. However, you can go to the desert to photograph.
90% of the population is expatriate and 10% is Arab. People who live there love the life and don’t want to leave. It is very clean, organised and safe. Expensive.
However, the main control lies with the Arabs and the Sheikh. They respect him a lot, and so do the expats. They also never grant you citizenship. If you work there all your life, then once you retire (unless you have invested in property), you have to leave
Reblogged this on Niki.V.all.ways.My.way. and commented:
for those who love trees and the many hues of light one may see a forest.
This is beautiful. I love the sepia tones 🙂
Thanks very much! btw, I like that Tiger T-Shirt you are wearing on your “About” page!
Thank you! It was a gift from a friend 😀
Beautiful photo! It really shows the variations of light.
Thanks very much!
Beautiful Rajiv!
I was super sorry that India lost the cricket – I was hopeful that we would be playing you in the final. NZ is against Aust, now that’s scary!
Well, I do know a few Aussies who are rooting for NZ. They find the Aussie team very rude…
I am rooting for the Kiwis..
I have my fingers and toes crossed 😀
I cannot cross toes, so I shall keep my fingers crossed for the Kiwi team
Gorgeous. I love trees…simply wonderful, Cowboy. xx
Thank ye, oh Queen!
superb!!!
Thanks…
You have not been posting, it seems
I am 😉 was irregular but now back 🙂
I have that feeling of late summer afternoon sunlight from this image 🙂
In this one, possibly yes…
Hello Rajiv 😃 B&W effects does have some great settings. This one suits the image so well. The toning makes me feel like I can see right through the middle of the trees. A very nice, timeless edition!
Thanks! I have, by the way, done two more edits on the trees..
Im glad to hear that Raj! Have you posted them? I’m currently away for most of April, so behind in all of my reading.
Look forward to seeing them too.. I hope 😜
Well, since I have been in only two challenges, I thought that I would do two postings. So, the next one is for next week.
Cool!
Yeah.. i did two HDR renderings of the tree. So, I may put them both up next week!
Looking forward to them Rajiv 😃
