Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge.
Gonville & Caius (pronounced keys) is one of the oldest, largest and wealthiest colleges in Cambridge with a strong medical bent. Crick (of DNA fame) was one of the 15 Nobel prize winner alumni on its books - in fact the Falcon Pub where the double helix was all announced to the rapturous (and presumably tiddly) public is about a hundred yards from where I stand.
The Romanoid edifice on the left is the Senate house where the hapless undergraduates who survive three or four years get their degrees conferred on them. Most do.
This is in the centre of the town and if I were to walk backwards a hundred paces I’d see the iconic King’s College chapel on my left… assuming I didn’t hit a lamppost first of course :)
The image was taken in March just before lockdown. I thought it would be a good one for playing with my toys in the processing playpen. There are just so many ways you could interpret it - nighttime street photography; vintage photo; architect’s drawing; painting; gothic nightmare where if Jack the Ripper didn’t get you a vampire surely would…
I’ve been working on the set for several months off and on, but now I think I have gone as far as I want to so I am publishing it as a Sliders Sunday set in the hope that you will enjoy some of the variants.
The description will be the same for each of them so you don’t have to read it more than once (if that!). I’ll publish a link to the in-camera image in the first comment so you can see how far we came.
Here are the processing notes for the variants. I’ll at least attempt to keep them brief.
I - Plain colour version as I would process it for the natural look. It was quite difficult to get right with blown highlights and grey skies, noise and a hefty perspective correction all needing sorting.
II - Mono version, the first of two. This was Topaz Studio starting from a dramatic mono preset.
III Vintage Photo version. This was done with Nik Silver Efex and is my favourite of the monos I think (for now!). Sepia-toned and added grain.
IV Ink & Colour version. This was done in Photoshop using one of the painterly filters. I really like the effect which I can’t really reproduce using other toys.
V Black Magic version. Topaz Studio here starting with the You Are A Wizard preset. I love this one for the simplicity and minimalism.
VI Architect’s Dream. Topaz again starting with the City Flare preset. I like this because it emphasises the geometry of the architecture like a draftsman’s drawing.
VII Gothic Nightmare. This was created in Nik Color Efex using the IR filter among many others. For Sliders Sunday because it’s suitably extreme :)
Just ask if you would like the presets I created from this or any of the others.
Which variant personally appeals to you most I wonder?
This one is for my 100x Monochrome and Toned project.
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the images! Happy 100x and take care - have a great week :)
