The Dark Hedges

The Dark Hedges was the one location that Dan and I wanted to get to during our time between the two tours.  After a long 6 hour drive to Northern Ireland,  all I can say is, it was one of the most amazing sights I’ve ever seen through the viewfinder of a camera.  I’ve included a B&W conversion below.

    Fantastic – I like the B&W version a bit more, but it’s close

    Great love them both, must have been a lot of work taking out the fence.

      No John, all I took out was a very small section on the right… this vantage point was the one where you could eliminate most of the fence. If you look closely you’ll see the fence on the left.

    Very cool! Color ver for me.

    Awesome John…. I’m gonna be radical and say that the color version has more impact. The greens just help draw you down that road passing those surreal trees on the way….

      What? COLOR from you? :) I wonder if it might be because of my choice of processing for the b&w version. I’ll post another more traditional version soon.

    Love, love…back and forth on which I like best…totally different feel between the color and the B&W. Well worth the long drive….

    Exceptional tonality JB…was this an HDR of just another example of your image expertise?

      No HDR Scott, all processed from one single image and honestly not much processing. The light was magical.

    Another image of a place you’ve made your own!

    Hi John, I discovered your site through my friend Memory Roth. After looking through all the pictures that you have posted on your blog, this is my favourite. It is absolutely stunning!
