SmugMug > popular today > Sepia Smoke?

The "smoke" is actually fast moving low cloud swirling around the Cathedral this evening. It was cold and drizzly, but I thought the low cloud would make for some atmospheric photos, so I headed up to the Cathedral area early this evening. 

I took this shot from one of the old walled lanes that are found in this area. It has the intriguing name of "East Bight", and offers some intriguing hidden views. I was resting the camera against the left hand wall because of the relatively long exposure, and you might be starting to recognise my aversion to tripods :)

I thought the sepia filter added to the mood of the image. Before applying the filter I convert to B&W. Whenever I do a B&W conversion I don't just click on the "convert to B&W" tab. I find that tends to leave the image rather flat. I almost always have a play with the levels, shadows/highlights, and 99% of the time I increase the contrast after the conversion too. I added an unsharp mask here too. It still isn't tack sharp, but it adds to the antique feel, or maybe I'm just kidding myself a bit :)

I also cropped the image to remove some featureless sky and foreground in dark shadow.
