Lime Kilns

Posted by
Curly (South Shields, United Kingdom) on 24 May 2010 in Business & Industry and Portfolio.

Lime kilns at Marsden, South Shields erected behind the also disused Marsden Rattler railway line, locally quarried limestone was deposited and fired here to produce lime.

Five shot HDR processed in Photomatix

My apologies for not being around lately, two days without internet access or television thanks to a fault from my cable operator!

It's funny Curly, how you make a great picture without have a great subject...

@Jacques: I do like to try!

Sri Harsha from Melbourne, Australia

Looks great, love the colours and the range of tones!! Well done!

@Sri Harsha: The five RAWS give you a much greater gamut of light levels and tones to work with in Photomatix and I kept the smoothing levels pretty high in this one, which helps with sharpness and reduces any effects of light fringing.

@Eric Cousineau: The sunlight is behind these lime kilns most of the day Eric, so mornings are the best time to catch a little light on them.

Compared to the image before, I don’t like this one at all, it is flat, there is no depth of field and to my taste it has been over processed with the tone mapping
However I find the logs in the foreground extremely interesting and beautiful, lovely :)

Reza Abbasi from tehran, Iran

you doing the best while u dont have any access to televison or internet
but these days i prefer not carrying camera with me
to catch a glimps of a moment with best light on the subject
try to see and cross from there
or
i found myself more honoralbe and more satisfied
when i am in front of a beautiful landscape with afternoon light
but try not to make a good composition of it
and then be part of it
can i pass you the meaning ?

i enjoy looking your photos
