Thanks for using one of my theme suggestions Sepiana. It gave me a chance to visit a local coffee shop to see one of the better chess sets I've seen. The pieces were hand carved in Alaska in 1957. I didn't ask from what because I guess I didn't really want to know.

In the style of Daido Moriyama? Howard - I love it! There's a figurative vanishing going one as well as the literal ones.. Great mood and a beautiful image. Bill

Great timing Clive! My wife is taking an art class and this week's theme is perspective and vanishing points. We've been talking about them a bit. Looking forward to going out to photograph a good example.

P is for my hat, which of course stands for Portland. Because it also is a 'magic weather hat' it also stands for Probable Precipitation as we head to the end of summer. Thanks to Sepiana and the entire staff at the Weekly Photo Challenge for giving me an excuse to stop at one of my favorite coffee shops!

Thanks for the excuse to go to the train station this morning Tony! Other than a couple highlight/shadow enhancements in ACR. this was done in camera. Fuji has a "sepia" setting, but I don't like it very much so I made my own, using a black and white recipe as a starting point. This is the first time I've used it, and honestly I think the reds are a bit overcooked for what I wanted. I'll dial them back next time and see if I can get closer.

I first create a black and white version using Silver Efex Pro. After that I use the sliders in LR to create a split tone effect. I find that setting 40 for the hue and 10 for the saturation in both highlights and shadows is a good starting point.
Nice results Helen, Thanks for sharing the process!

Thanks for choosing my theme idea Sepiana. It's fun to see all the various interpretations. I tried a few this morning and settled on this one.
