Farm house in colour (a.k.a. IT WORKS!!!) 

Blogged here.

Finally got the hang of colour separations, my previous attempts have produced very washed-out colours or only hinted at what's possible.

Three exposures of black & white film (using red, green and blue [25A, X1 and 80B] filters) scanned and using photoshop's channel mixer set to any of the three colours that make up RGB. Green and blue have then been added to the red exposure and have been lined up using the red exposure as an anchor; then the opacity of the green and blue layer has been set to 33% each. Then the image has been flattened (all layers combined) followed by fine-tuning of the different colour channels. Finally, some contrast enchancement.

I think the result is at least on par with cheap colour negative film, moving clouds etc. are a bonus ;) This was shot in June 2008 (at the same time as Mill in colour). The only limit is one's patience to get the colour balance right.

My inspiration? Sergei Prokudin-Gorskij (making of section at an exhibition at the U.S. Library of Congress).
