Another attempt at Film Noir… but that bright light is bugging me. This wasn’t in Cuba, by the way! Bletchley Park, Hut 6 I think.

Personally I’m not much bothered by that bright light, Sue – it leads through to the smaller lights and so to the figure, and also the composition is strong enough for it not to be too distracting. But it is easy to clone out (I’ve just tried) and the pool of light around the original light bulb/shade looks very natural without the light bulb/shade. Or what about a tighter crop to exclude the bright light? That works very well too. I really like the image – it’s a strong composition.
Glad you like it! I thought of cloning and decided the pool of light might look unnatural, so I didn’t try! Might do, now! Cropping ‘upset’ the image dimensions for me….
I too thought removing the light bulb and shade might make that pool of light look odd – but actually to my eye I didn’t feel it did. But we all see it differently – worth trying, I think.
😊
Might cropping it work? Though at first look I thought it added a bit of ‘sinister’ since it made me think of bright light interrogation.
See my response to Andy…. I like your take on it!
I think the foreground light actually works really well. It lends a lot of atmosphere to the darkness beyond.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks, Pete….I think I’m getting that feeling from folks!
The bright lights work for me too, Sue. Great atmospheric shot
Thanks, Debs!
Scary! Defiantly noire.
Good, job done! 😀
Spooky!
Glad you agree, Eddy!
mystery and atmosphere abound!
Yippee!
The lights works for me Sue – hints of The Shining 😉 Excellent.
Thanks, Robin!
Love the way you caught the figure so far away, just about to disappear.
Tee hee, there’s a tale behind this One!
Are you going to tell it?????
Well, I took a couple of images, waiting for the right person/people to appear in shot, but nothing quite worked….at which point my friends cooked up a plan…and the husband obediently walked towards the door…job done, image in the bag (I took a burst of 4 images, to get different scales, and this is the penultimate one)
Well worth tampering with reality!! I’ve done it with twigs: haven’t tried it with people.
Well, it does smack of cheating, doesn’t it?!! 😳
Not cheating. Art! And I think I’ll stick with twigs. They’re more amenable.
And art it is…all artists manipulate to some extent to achieve their vision! Love your take on sticks
Oh, I meant to say- scale up from a twig, Meg!
I like the light, but I do see what yo mean. When I put my thumb over the closest one it looks better.
Glad you get it, Gilly…..I might have another play with this image, but then again, I might not!!
Great shot. I love this.
Thanks, Max! A bit of noir, eh!
