Little Oak Tree in Sepia
Posted by Richard Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 28 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural.
A very lightly sepia toned version of the shot I posted yesterday. I couldn't make up my mind which version I liked best (the colour, the B&W, the sepia) so all three have been posted on AM3.
Nikon F100, 24mm lens, Ilford HP5 film, Sepia toned & framing in Photoshop.

The sepia tone really adds a lot of character to this image. This truly is a beautiful place.

Nice touch with the sepia here. Not sure which I like best either, they each have their own personality.

I'm not sure which one I prefer as they're both excellent. What technique do you use to create the black edge on your photos?

Well... it's difficult to decide... but I think I prefer yesterday's version. Is more dramatic.

It's really close, but I think I prefer the B&W version. Both are excellent.

I like both, this seems a little more silvery. I love your treatment!

Incredible capture, it has a raw and windswept look. I like the sephia tone.

Although the tree seems to stand out slightly more in this one, I prefer the pure B&W one!

I love this version too. It's so hard to decide. Yesterday's image gets the nod by the narrowest of margins.

You are right. It is a very tough decision between the different tones. They are both beautiful shots. I think I like the sepia toned image a little bit.

I think the sepia highlight the light on the front of the tree a little better but I'm generally a fan of b/w.

Of the three, this is my slight favorite . . somehow, the sepia toning brings out a touch more detail (in the mind if not the eye).

where's the colour shot? (still to come?) I think of the two you've posted I marginally prefer the b+w, but that is probably because I am in a silver mood right now. very interesting to see the impact a slight change in tone can have: thanks for posting both.

I love this sepia one... But I didn't see the color one?

Black and white or sepia - sepia or black and white? Hard to pick a favorite. I believe the structure and interplay of light and shadow make this photo -- even if the overall tone were some odd color. Very beautiful.

Both are great. I prefer this one. It has a heavier atmosphere.
