Challenge: Silhouettes III (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon PowerShot A520
Location: Wellington waterfront, New Zealand
Date: Aug 28, 2006
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/10
Galleries: Urban, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Aug 28, 2006

 Construction cranes as viewed from the Wellington waterfront. The two cranes are about a quarter mile apart. I got this perspective by positioning myself at the right point on the wharf... and waiting for the near crane to be parallel to the far one (it was being used at the time).

Processing:
Crop, NeatImage, then several adjustment layers in CS2:
1) Channel Mixer (R+82 G+124 B-42)
2) Levels
3) Curves (for slight contrast lift).

This image was shot against a dusk sky. A lucky grab shot on the way to the railway station after work. (I'd been struggling with inspiration for the Silhouettes Challenge)

** I should get into the habit of taking my 350D around with me, the little Canon is a bit noisy

Not quite a silhouette... I like the repetition caused by the cranes.

I like this picture. It reminds me of one of my own pictures and I love the way the crane in the foreground seems to get out of the frame. These cranes make nice silhouettes.

The composition is too tight for the right side...

This isn't much of a silhouette as the light is on the cranes for the most part.
