It has been a while since I processed a photo in this manner. I decided to try this processing out on this particular photo as I already had processed a a few Sydney CBD ones from around the time taking this one, and I thought it would work here. Personally I think it did, though perhaps I could’ve been less aggressive with the shadows.
This is my submission into the two hundred-and-ninety-seventh Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. The theme for this one is “Music to my Eyes“.
A good deal of the time when I’m taking photos I’m not thinking about or listening to music. Gig photography is the main exception to this, but even then I’m not always thinking about what I’m hearing, which might not be a good thing. I don’t know.
Anyway, I’d say that perhaps Midnight Oil’s “Outside World” fits this to an extent. final’s “Dead Air” also fits, as does Infusion’s “Continental Drift”, but again, only to an extent, and for final and Infusion, more in mood and atmosphere than anything lyrically specific.
The host of the Lens-Artists challenges cycles weekly between the following people:
Egídio is curating this one. Next week Tina is curating.
I recommend participating in the challenges as they provide a fun way to interpret theme. If not participating, then at least you should still check out what others of the Lens-Artists community are submitting.
I hope you enjoy.

The songs fit especially with the mood and emotion you are so great at achieving, SH.

First off, I think your edit is beautiful. The strong shadows accentuate the highlights beautifully. The photo shines in its dark mood. Thanks for putting music choices to the gorgeous image you presented us. I listened to the song choices you offered and agree with your assessment. That music does work well with the mood you created in the photo. Great selections!
