I had a mind to develop some of the images I took along the River Nidd into the Pictorialist style of the late 1800s – early 1900s. Not sure if I’ve got it quite right yet but I’m reasonably pleased with the effect so far. One of the main problems with these images was the number of dust spots visible in each frame. (This particular shoot brought it to my attention that I needed to clean my camera’s sensor!)

I find them very effective. The impression created is good especially the first image. Ah yes, sensor cleaning. A good reminder. Away with the dust bunnies.

I think the second one needs significantly more work. I’m considering taking my mf down there, but it’s all a question of available time.
Is that where the first idea of Photoshop was conceived? 😉
I like the effect…
A hero of mine is a guy called Alfred Horsley Hinton – wiki has a few words on him and a nice little selection of his work can be found here. http://www.luminous-lint.com/app/photographer/Alfred_Horsley__Hinton/C/ . I’ve had the pleasure of seeing some originals – in the hand, so to speak.
Thanks for the tip 🙂 Great site – just the thing for the rainy day it is!
Just got back from the shops on my bicycle and we’ve had a hailstorm cloudburst from nowhere – good timing – although I had to dash outside to get the washing in from the line… 😉
Same stuff here… 😉 5 minutes sunshine, 10 minutes of whatever comes to mind coming down, another 6 minutes of sun…

I had to google that term and I find it interesting – another new way of looking at my photos.
The ‘Pictorialists’ are some of my photographic heroes.
These are great. You have it right enough. Very nice images and rendering.
Thank you.
I spent a little time studying Pictorialist work during my photographic course and some of it stuck.
By today’s standards it could be considered pretty dull and dingy stuff, but it’s fun exploring similar outcomes.
