Thanks Sirius. I attribute a good portion of this one's success to my "scouting" skills - being able to find old buildings with enough character in their design to translate into "dark art".

Nicely done. I really like your technique on these houses. Very eye-catching!

Thanks Randy. These types of shots give me ample opportunity to practice "blending" skills - I don't think I've ever dodged and burned so much as when working on these Low Key images.

Really nice, Bob.
I was anxiously waiting to see your "dark" side and you didn't let me down.
Great pic!

Thanks Frank. I suspect that appreciation of Low Key is an "acquired taste" ...... it grows on you. I like it because it is SOOOOO dramatic!

I love your B&W photos, and the way you highlight the subject with the totally black background. Always looking for new ones.

Thanks loboimages. You posted some photos recently of old structures on Mormom Row in the Tetons which would really look good with this treatment.

Perhaps we can collaborate. Do you still have the original photo of the barn on Mormon Row, the one that didn't have a blue color in the background, but a clear shot of the mountains? If you have it, please upload it to this topic, with (store original) checked. I will work my magic on it and put it back up, with a thumbnail description of how I did it. Then, tell me if you want it done in a Low Key effect, or just converted to b&w (with mountains still visible).

Thanks rp2s. I have taken many photos that just didn't look all that exciting in color. Before I started experimenting with Low Key effects, most of them languished in a directory, never to be seen again. Now I'm realizing, some of those look really good when you change their appearance.

Thanks erbiv. This is actually a take-off on Low Key processing. It strays from the original in that it was not originally shot with directed lighting in a dark environment, but processed to look that way after the fact.

Excellent job on the pp nonetheless.
