Paul, You could lighten it up in photoshop. Take a digital photo of it and run it through photoshop and you can lighten it up enough to post here.

Thanks I tried and this is the one that has shows his signature on it and it is too dark and I am just learning Photoshop and I can do layers and darkroom stuff but it is too much work and it is not mine and I wanted it to be true to his work. So take a look.

I'll be shooting some cityscapes tomarrow. Hope to have them posted.
Thanks
Bye Paul

Actually even though it is dark it came out well there is a lot of detail that can be seen. sometimes dark can be interesting as well.

Was this a direct photo of the print?
Also is there glass covering it? if not you may be able to get enough light with just a normal flash. If it has glass try using a bounce flash and bounce the light off the cieling.

I used my Olympus DSLR E-VOLT 300 and North light. I might go and get my enlarger and use it for a copy stand and use my flash the last time I used my flash on coping a graphic print it washed out the image. If I use my copy stand it will look better. I guess I will go by my shed on my way downtown when I go to do my cityscape shoot today. I post the fine art graphic prints when I don't have any photo's to post that way it keeps this thread active and it might help other people post if they don't like my work and they might like my friends work. I have lots more fine art graphics from my friends and myself. I use to use a copy camera when I was a visual editor for my schools art publication but I don't have use of those any more.

Cityscapes

Here is my home town of Lynchburg VA it is a college town with a population of 60,000 in the summer and about 30,000 more when the university and colleges are open. This pictures were taken with my Olympus E-VOLT DSLR with a polarize filter and a red filter. I shot some of my 20-year-old Tri-X and will develop it later.This picture is of the main building it is 17 stories and was built about 1971 as seen from across the old James River and Kanawha Canal

This link should probably be in the non-Seti science Board, but I though you camera buffs would be the most interested.

Hi

Here is shot I took today at my home town train station “Kemper Street Station” it has been renovated it has been around for over 100 years and now it is a combination Greyhound bus station and Amtrak train station. This shot I took with my Olympus E-VOLT 300 and it is a multiple exposure I did in Photoshop as layers.

Paul, I can see that you have at least two exposures there one taken at dusk and the other taken during the day probably late afternoon. Good work.

Thanks Stealth Eagle
I am working on another multiple exposure of the train station I will put it on your thread when I am done with it. The multiple exposure are at noon today one was over exposed for the sky and ground and the other was underexposed for the building and I combined the two into one shot. This shot is the upper level of three and it houses the Greyhound bus station. I don't know what the mid level is for and the ground level is for the Amtrak train.

I've never shot a motor cross though I was employed by a surfing magazine and skate boarding magazine as an artist in Cocoa Beach Florida in 1978.

Hi
Here is another shot of the Kemper Street Station
It seems there is a lot of history behind the railroad stations here in Lynchburg, which I am researching. It seems there were at least 5 stations here and at least one roundhouse and the first station was in 1838 at Percival Island with the Southside RR and the Lynchburg and Tennessee RR with roundhouse at 9th Street and the 12th Street Station with the Lynchburg and Durham RR and the Alexander and Orange RR which I believe had the Kemper Street Station and then there was the Woodall Rd Station which had the N&W RR Station in 1964 and then there is the CSXT rail yard on Rusens Road. And there are probably more I don’t know about.

This shot is with my Olympus E-VOLT 300 with a red and polarize filters set to black and white and multiple exposures in Photoshop with some burning in and dodging and blurring and sharpen.

Your Welcome Dr. Ceti

Here are two shots I did today at Percival Island looking for ruins of the old rail yard. I did find lots of old ties and rails and 2 basements to small sheds and an old aqueduct over Fishing Creek that carried the old James River and Kanawha Canal but it was tiring hike and I feel down and am sore now and to find the best ruins I will have to wait till winter for when the over growth is gone and I can better able to roam the island and get better shots. I did get this of the East Bridge of the Southside Railroad that has been turned into a walk way and I did get this shot of a submerged bateaux I believe to be the Anthony Rucker that is kept in storage that way it will stay swollen and not leak when they put it on the James River Bateaux Festival next year on their annual float to Richmond.


This is the submerged Bateaux Anthony Rucker on private property and I could not get a better shot it is a point and shooter shot..


The is the East Bridge that crosses the James River to Percival Island of the Old Southside Railroad the precursor to the Atlantic Mississippi and Ohio Railroad precursor to the Norfolk and Western precursor to the Norfolk and Southern. They had a vast rail yard here that is all but gone.
