2020 UPDATE: I recently shared a revised edit of this image, which I much prefer to this version. Please take a look.
I previously showed a black and white fake infrared of this diner last July, way back when I took these images. I had real trouble deciding how to process the images of the diner, as the colors are a bit garish and hard to get a handle on. That’s why I ended up with black and white last time. For this image, I punched up the saturation of the environment, but brushed it back out of the diner itself, which seems to create a nice contrast.
I only noticed something this week, when I looked at a high magnification to set the sharpness, that the “Diner” sign is painted over raised letters that said “REST STOP.” You can actually see it pretty clearly, but I just never noticed.

14 Apr 2011I like how this goes from light colors on top to dark tones on the bottom. I also really enjoy how much those parking lines jump off the screen. Very nice!

14 Apr 2011Awesome Mark! I love that you kept some of the blacks around the door and window. I also like the saturation of the yellow lines.

14 Apr 2011Great perspective; glad that you chose a vertical orientation. Love how you lead our eye “up” to that fabulous sign.
