Architecture
Another of the shots that I took in the brilliant evening lighting at the Sydney Opera House. For this particular one, I had to apply selective darkening / gradient filtering to the sky to bring out the colours and details in the clouds. I like the unusual perspective I managed to achieve in the end.
A break from the recent fireworks shots (although I have got at least a couple more new ones from last weekend to post up)… I picked up these reflections along a building in Manchester while we were walking towards Old Trafford on a tour to Manchester United soccer stadium. I have deliberately kept the road sign towards the right of the frame to distinguish what is within and without the “zone”.
You might have seen a similar posting on my dad’s photoblog for this picture, which was taken at the Scottish Parliament Building in Edinburgh, UK… That’s hardly surprising as we took the pictures probably just seconds apart. I took the lazier way out though (with my point-and-shoot G10) as I had already kept my 40D in the bag. Hence the difference in aspect ratio (the G10 is 4:3 whereas my dad’s Nikon D700 is 3:2). I think my dad’s DSLR version probably has better detail and colour rendition if seen full-size although I must admit that the results I got from the G10 weren’t too shabby either! 🙂
