I have moved my One Four challenge posts to Mondays to make sure everything is posted at the same time as the other contributors.
This months image was taken in Zdrowie park, on the other side of the road that I haven’t really been to before. but the layout and design of the park is the same.
I processed the shot as a 32bit HDR image, created in Photoshop and toned in Lightroom. It was a very cold day (around -5) and there was an eeriness about the place.
There are some obvious processes I could make in the coming weeks but we will see where the image leads me.

I’m looking forward to seeing where you go with this, Ben. Also envious of the 32bit stuff, which my setup does not have the capacity for!
I have become a real convert of 32bit editing, a shame you system doesn’t have the capacity.
looks cold..but at least you don’t have snow! Will have to go back and re-read your posts about 32 bit…
We were expecting snow last week but it dipped to cold for it to snow. I quite like taking pictures with a climate like this because there is a lot of stillness in the light and colours. Just have to wait for snow now.
We get snow even if it is minus 30…..
We are not that lucky. To be honest I don’t really understand why here it snows at certain temps and not other.
I know I will look forward to your process and explanation each week. The earthy feel of this image is so clear! I love and appreciate the phases of fall.
Earthy is a good adjective, I hope you will like what i cook up next.
Thanks for taking the time to comment.
Hey Ben .. Love the line in this pic. Looks like you are going to have some fun with this image 🙂 what is 32bit editing? I’m a real novice ..
Bit depth is the number of possible tones are available in an image. Normal jpegs are 8 bit raw images edited in Lightroom are usually 16 bit images. 32bit images have a wider range of tones and editing such an image gives you access to them. I wrote about bit depth and image quality here http://wp.me/p2DjHx-1sj
Also about 32bit editing here http://wp.me/p2DjHx-1t3
Thanks Ben 🙂
great photo…will be interesting to see where you go with this…I’m thinking the word “eeriness” will have a part in the end result? 😉
Hi Heather, yes eeriness will play a part in this images transformation as really that is the subject to study in the image.
Hi Ben, I can definitely feel the stillness and see winter (or the coming of) in the skies and trees. There is a bleak feel here too, especially at -5 deg. Brrr!
Im glad people are asking you about the 32 bit HDR – must reread your post – was going to try it for myself, when I read it before.
Also looking forward to seeing the other directions, in which you take this image 😀
Hi Robyn, 32 bit processing if you have the power to do it is well worth it as you have so much more to work with also as with HDR there are sometimes some strange anomalies. I posted links in an earlier comment if you want to follow them.
-5 is really the beginning of winter and will drop to at least -20 at some point in the winter, I will never forget the year we went to -30 and I had Ice forming on my beard.
Thanks again, yes I’ll be going back to your links and re-reading. Thank you! 😀
Oh man! That is cold…brrr! Our coldest in very extreme cold would be -10 to -15 deg C and thats only very occasionally, not all winter.
Stay warm 😀
Look forward to your next process with this image.
