Today I’m sharing an image I captured from the recent Christmas Parlour Tour I was privileged to photograph. I had fun capturing this image of a phonograph, with it’s interesting circles and lines. I had even more fun playing with the processing of it in Lightroom, and I couldn’t decide which version I liked more.
The warmer tones…
…or the dreamy black and white.
They each have a different feel. What’s your preference?
I’m off to the Portland Art Museum today, visiting their photography exhibition: Through the Looking Glass: Photography’s use of Windows, Doorways and Mirrors. It sounds perfect for me, does it not? I can’t wait!
Hi Kat,
The exhibit at the museum sounds very interesting. Enjoy. I really like the warmer toned photo of the phonograph. Very nice. Happy New Year.
Personally I like the one with warmer tones as it has so much depth. So pretty!
Oh that is a hard decision. I am always doing that. I do think the warmer toned photo is absolutely gorgeous.
Kat – can’t wait to hear about your trip to the museum and the photography exhibit.
It’s fun to play with different options, isn’t it? In this case, I think I like the warmer tones – gives it a real vintage feel.
I envy your adventure today…have been considering a door project for awhile and would love some inspiration.
And I love the hazy, dreamy feel of the the b&w…especially the cropped version.
Wow, you seem to be in the minority. The warmer toned image is the favorite today, but I still like the b&w too…
I have to agree, I like the warmer tones as well. That sounds like an exhibition that I’d like to see, too. Hope you’ll write about it!
I like the warmer one.
beautiful photo, I prefer the warm tones myself,
I love the warm tones – the whole feel of it makes me want to get up and dance!
Definitely the warmer tones. Love your angle on this as well. I’m looking forward to hearing about your museum visit!
Absolutely LOVE the warm tones!
The exhibit sounds like it will be wonderful.
Beautiful vintage phonograph!! I really like the warmer tones, so vintage!! The museum exhibit sounds interesting. Let us know how it goes!!
I much prefer the warmer tones. Looking forward to a review of the photography exhibit. It does sound perfect for you!
I personally love the warm tones, they seem to fit perfectly with the era that the phonograph was used, beautiful work 🙂
For me the warmer tones suit the subject best.
Oh that dreamy black and white is definitely my favourite! What fun!
I knew you would love that one Kirstin! I thought of you when I processed it.
