I don't know if this is of any interest to anyone, but the B/W conversion of my Weston tribute was interesting. As entered:
Original:
Using FM B/W Workshop Pro with Green Filter:
Yellow filter:
The final submission had the yellow and green filtered images layered with the yellow faded onto the green.

I'm having a really hard time getting my head around the shadow reflection on this one, anyone???
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the picture but just can't get my brain around the sizing of the reflection vs the sizing of the reflection of the hill the shadow is on. |

Not so much the size, but the actual reflection looks like it can't be a reflection of the shadow, since the shadow is "stuck" to the bank, whereas the reflection seems to have the upper part against blue sky. |

Precisely. This has been puzzling me since I first saw this photo.

Whew that is enough quoting...
Exactly, if you can see the entire hill in the reflection i.e. being able to see the sky, then you could see his shadows reflection but it would certainly end somewhere on the hill in the water reflection.
See the horizontal root in the hill, and see the line of the root in the water reflection.... the shadow âshouldâ only extend a tiny bit past the root reflection, factoring in the diminishing perspective of the hill in the water.
I still don't know if I'm describing that correctly. I guess if the Tree shadow reflected the same way in the water my brain might be happier.

Now I'll simply HAVE to PM the photographer and ask. There is probably a very simple explanation.
I don't have time at the moment, but I'll try to remember tonight - if anyone else wants to do it, be my guest :-) |

Well, I am pretty darn sure the reflection was "grown" by burning :)

I took a seascape poster, put a piece of driftwood in front of the poster, then in photoshop I added the door. ;)
I wanted the Uelsmann look of how is this possible, and surreal feel.
It was only 10 hours into voting I got asked for the original. BTW In photoshop I mean I made the door, and then printed it out about 90 times, getting the right size/color, then stuck it to the Driftwood with some servo tape.

Its double sided sticky tape about an 1/8 thick, but very strong. Its used to hold the servos in Radio control planes.
Heres the link

I don't know how nlghttrain does it, but I find the easiest way is to open a curves layer and use the "set white point" dropper tool to select the darkest area of background for a white bg, or the "set black point" dropper tool to select the lightest area for a black bg. It usually takes a few tries to get it just right so probably there's an easier way. |
Thanks James. I appreciate your help.

I am also very confused about this one!!!
How can a shadow make a shadow?
The reflection in the water clearly shows an image of the shadow!
How come the tree isn't reflected as well?
How did the photographer shoot the photo? From his hip?
The shadow seems to reflect a woman wearing a skirt, the photographer is a man.
Ther seems to be a figure (shadow) on the left side, is that the photographer?
Enough conspiracy theory, can anyone explain? |

I don't see any weirdness...the image on the rock face or wall is reflected in the water. The image contains the shadow, hence the reflection contains the shadow as well. It's not a shadow of a shadow but a mirror image of the shadow cast from a low setting sun. The tree is reflected, it's just a bit distorted.
Am I missing something? |

I think so. Check out the head in the water. If this is a reflection of the shadow on the dirt bank, should we be able to see the sky from the shoulders up? If the shadow in the water is supposed to be a reflection of the shadow on the bank then all you'd see would be the shadow and the bank - no sky.
Don't know exactly how he did it but it's nice indeed.

| You're right...the reflected shadow should be no higher than the reflected wall upon which the shadow was reflected. It's pretty though... and would have been just as pretty without the reflection, methinks. |

Hi guys! Sorry but this might be a tad too late but could always be useful in other challenges. I didn't want to write down my steps again so I've been looking for it in the PS log. Found it and I also found the write up I sent to SC. I'll just need to post my original but I have updated the image to include the post processing steps.
I hope it helps. Let me know via PM if you have any questions on some of my steps. Thanks.
