Stretched #Big #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Landscape #Monochrome #Photography

Black and white photograph of the Royal Border Bridge, a big multi-arched stone railway viaduct spanning the River Tweed at Berwick-upon-Tweed, seen from a riverside vantage point framed by dark foliage. A big, dramatic sky of storm clouds looms above the bridge, with the structure and clouds reflected in the calm water below.

Overshadowed #Big #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Landscape #Monochrome #Photography

Black and white photograph of Lindisfarne Castle atop a steep rocky outcrop on Holy Island, Northumberland, dwarfed beneath a big, dramatic sky of heavy clouds. A cobbled path leads up the hill toward the small stone fortress.

Drawn #Glass #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Nature #Monochrome #Photography

Black-and-white macro photograph of a spider web against a dark, softly graduated background with a diagonal band of light in the upper left. Fine, taut threads with small beaded nodes stretch across the frame, catching the light like delicate glass filaments.

Still #Growing #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Nature #Photography

Close-up of an allium flower bud emerging from its papery outer sheath, against a black background. The sheath has split and peeled back, curling away to reveal tightly packed green flower buds beneath, striped with darker green ribs and tinged pink at the tips. A single thin pink stem tip pokes through the gap in the sheath.

Moss and Bark #Quiet #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Nature #Photography

A single curved tree branch covered in patches of green moss and lichen, lit against a completely black background. A smaller broken fragment of wood rests below it in the darkness.

Shoreline #Quiet #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Landscape #Photography

A wide pebble and sand beach curving along the shoreline under a large cloudy sky with patches of blue. Calm sea to the left, scattered stones in shades of brown, grey, and orange fill the foreground, with low dunes visible in the distance on the right.

Instant by Accident #Recover #PostProcess #ECK Challenge Photo original by @rjrock.bsky.social (See Alt-Text for process) Thinking: The damage was a real film/developing issue, so I leaned into it rather than fixing it. The other frames hint the roll had other, similar moments on it.

Process: Pretty simple this week, using ON1 I inverted the image (negative), adjusted tone etc, applied an instant film LUT, and then added some extra texture and refined the colour/tone balance.

London.txt #Play #PostProcess #ECK Challenge Photo original by @rjrock.bsky.social (See Alt-Text for process) Thinking: Reduce the image to its simplest possible visual language, so I translated it into ASCII; using ordinary text characters as the smallest building blocks of shape and tone.

Process: I created a python script to convert the image to ASCII. The program shrinks the photo into a grid of small blocks and, for each one, picks a text character whose shading matches how light or dark that spot is so sparse characters like a period for bright areas, dense ones like # for dark areas, so the character pattern recreates the image when viewed as a whole. On top of that, it looks for outlines (places where light suddenly meets dark, like the edge of a face or table) and figures out which way each outline is pointing: vertical, horizontal, or diagonal and then swaps in a character that matches, like | or /, so those edges actually look like lines running in the right direction rather than just fuzzy shading.

The Heugh #Wide #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Monochrome #Landscape #Photography

The Lindisfarne war memorial cross stands silhouetted on the Heugh ridge above the priory, Holy Island, beneath a dramatic sky with a heavy dark upper half and streaked clouds below. Lindisfarne Castle is visible as a small silhouette on the horizon; tidal flats and the harbour stretch out on either side.

Between Land and Tide #Wide #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Landscape #Photography

Small wooden footbridge crossing a low stone wall on a grassy coastal path on Holy Island (Lindisfarne), leading toward the sea under a dramatic, heavy storm-cloud sky. Pink wildflowers grow along the wall in the foreground; the path continues into the distance toward the horizon.

Bang #Macro #BlueSkyArtShow #ArtYear #Nature #Flowers #Photography

Close-up macro photograph of a dried allium seed head. Golden-brown radiating stems spread outward from a central point, each tipped with a small papery seed pod containing two or three jet-black seeds. The shallow depth of field blurs the centre and edges, creating a sense of outward explosion. The background is a soft, pale grey.

Thermal #Duotone #PostProcess #ECK Challenge Photo original by @rjrock.bsky.social (See Alt-Text for process) Thinking: I wanted to show that the city radiates heat and life and burns into the structure of the world and so I changed the original colours to highlight this.
