nightmare on elm street

the nightmare was the problem of a yellow cast from the sodium vapour lights shining on the huge elm trees...the solution was to convert to mono, perhaps not entirely successfully

Whoa , what a mood ....

Excellent! V!

So it became a great looking shot. V

In fact, very sucessfully, particularly with the caption! It does look dark, spooky and rather forbidding, deliciously so, however! VV

Great B&W shot. V

Glenn Dean (Vatorman)		10-Dec-2011 23:00
Powerful result in the conversion. BV!

This certainly looks very spooky and the conversion has an IR appearance to it.

You certainly made a piece of art out of this ordinary street scene. It is really terrific! V

Love the title, I also think this works vey well in mono, great conversion David. v

bill friedlander		10-Dec-2011 18:37
Looks good to me. Its a great composition, the light works well, and the tones are great. Ergo:- success. V

tinkerb		10-Dec-2011 18:01
I think very succesful - a every day scene given a real sense of drama in B&W

marie-jose wolff		10-Dec-2011 17:39
it's like a scene taken from a thriller ... the atmosphere is heavy, ominous ... the trees spread their tentacular branches like a trap. V

Phillip Normanton		10-Dec-2011 17:27
Looks spooky enough to me! :o)

Alain Boussac		10-Dec-2011 17:27
Excellent composition, conversion in B&W, and disturbing atmosphere of detective movie... V.

as if an alien craft is in the lurks........V

John Reynolds LRPS		10-Dec-2011 17:06
A great B&W shot. Quite atmospheric! V.

borisalex		10-Dec-2011 17:05
A 60´s style do it, like Jerry Cotton comes in his Jag around the corner! V.

Walter Otto Koenig		10-Dec-2011 16:59
Looks almost like IR, lots of tones and details. These street lights are certainly enemies to night photographers.

teachpeace		10-Dec-2011 16:21
Excellent result! Almost feels like an interior shot with with that heavy canopy of trees. BV

peterjay45		10-Dec-2011 16:04
I agree, this is not only a fine composition and exposure, David, but a fine conversion as well. Crisp blacks and clean whites. Super image. V.

Dan Greenberg		10-Dec-2011 15:57
Actually I think it looks pretty cool! I agree with mananee - it really does have an IR kind of appearance. I would love to see more like this. ~V~

Patricia Kay		10-Dec-2011 15:39
Fabulous in mono David...Great tones and details...BV

Cindi Smith		10-Dec-2011 15:10
I think you did an excellent job on the conversion. Lots of detail. :)

Jim Coffman		10-Dec-2011 15:02
This makes a great image in mono. Well done,David!

Guest		10-Dec-2011 14:51
LIke this, looks like an IR. Wonderful tonal contrast in this everyday suburban scene with cars lined up and parked on the curbside fallen autumn leaves.

Intriguing David. Excellent job!!
