Challenge: Triangle Composition (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM
Location: Delray Beach, FL
Date: May 6, 2008
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/2000
Galleries: Architecture, Black and White
Date Uploaded: May 6, 2008

PP: USM, gradient map adj. layer (red, yellow, blue), b&w adj. layer, brightness & contrast adj. layer, noise reduction, curves, levels.

So many people liked the lighting on this. As you can see above, it was achieved in Photoshop. Actually the shot was taken in bright midday sun, and the sky was blown. I really didn't like the white sky and couldn't fix that in basic editing, so I started playing around with it. This is the result of happy experimenting -- all legal under basic editing rules.

I love this! Love it! The angle, the processing which makes it look slightly fake but very cool and the Scientist is just the cherry on the cake for me, I'm faving it.

Love the jaunty angle. Very accurate lighting. Is this a building or a model?

Great contrast and colour. The composition is really very good too - very dynamic. Full of triangles as well. Well done!

Very effective lighting. I would have preferred not having the "SCIENTIST" as it distracts from the steeple. (I realize it was not possible to eliminate this in basic editing.) I think the tilting works well.

I like the contrast and lighting here. It would be interesting to know how it was done, since I'm a new photographer.
