[Kit] Architecture and cityscapes

#209

​

Nice and sharp buildings! I like the tone! Good one, considering it was bit hazy and a lousy cloud day

 

[Kit]

Yeah, spent a bit of time toning it to retain the details.

#209Nice angle ! Feel not so tight in composition comparing with 210.​

 

[Kit]

Thanks Wasn't sure about the square crop either but decided to give it a go.

Great tonal range and beautiful clarity throughout the frame.

HDR I assume?

Very good capture; reflection a cracker!

 

[Kit]

Thanks . Not HDR. Toned with Silver Efex.

#211

#211 is great stuff. and a great break away from the usual landmarks. Love the sense of mystery created by the dark space. My only nit is the lack of highlights (e.g. the curb of the stairs, I would think that should be much more highlight than mid tones).

I was using this as a guide to pp a black and white. Wasn't able to achieve the kind of clarity and tonal range. Probably going to try again when I have more time.

The "feel" of #209 and #210 is so different given the shots are taken not too long from each other. Look like lighting on (and turn off) the building makes this much different.

I am thinking probably if the stairs on the right wasn't there. The highlight by the only lights near the basketball will really "stand out".

Thanks folks

This is a shot which I did for a book cover for a client. Left the shadowed areas for text and stuff. As this is one of the few indoor sports hall with a spectators' stand, the client had requested to include the staircase leading to the stand. The main focus was still the basketball backboard.

I toned that with Silver Efex which I have more control over the local contrast to enhance the details on the building facades. I don't think I could have done it on CS5 (that easily).

On hindsight, I'm not really happy with these shots. Could be the ambient lighting or the editing but just thought I could do better. Perhaps I'll go back there again this weekend.....

Prefer the B&W one... the coloured version sky makes it a bit more right side heavy, even though it's essentially the same pic? :dunno:

 

[Kit]

Yes, same photo. Now you know what colours can do.....:bsmilie:
