I was out for a short walk earlier, and just like Kirk Tuck would do it, I took only one camera and lens with me.
Back at home, I played around with Google’s Nik Collection again, mostly with Silver Efex Pro 2. I made this with it:
End of track, Mörfelden-Walldorf 2016
That’s a combination of a film simulation (Kodak Tri-X 400), a white border and a few other things I’ve tried when using that program. And I don’t know what you think, but for me this looks a bit like one of these photos of old, when we still had them printed in small sizes, and stored away in shoe cartons. Nice. I’ll try some prints soon.
The program seems to take some resources; it runs far better on my bare metal Windows 10 installation than in virtual machines, even if I allow them to take 8GB of RAM (the whole “bare metal” machine has 16GB). So if you want to try it, make sure your hardware fits, or it’ll make you wait during each step. But the results would be still worth it, so I can only recommend to at least try these now free (as in beer) gifts from Google.
Thanks for viewing.
