Following up on yesterday’s image of Cairns at Cape Hedge Beach, today I worked on another moody image that I took there, about two months later. This was of a building partially obscured by the debris barrier and is shown in Figure 1. Yesterday’s image has intense depth of field which truly adds to the drama and today’s photograph failed miserably in that aspect. In trying to “bring it out” I realized that I could turn the fuzziness into an asset by using the image as a photopictorialism study and actually adding noise. That is I made the image look like an impressionist painting, thereby invoking the quality of the photopictorialist movement and in particular of the bromoil printing. So I added noise, playing with the kind and degree of the noise. The final result to me has the quality of a charcoal sketch
