This pic has been posted quite some time back. I'm now jumping with delight that you still came in and make nice comments on it. How I achieved this effect is already explained in the post. You may like to take a look.
Thank you for the compliments. This will really spur me on to take better pictures next time.
Love this image! Everything is set off so dramiticaly. These kinds of pictures always draw me in. Nice job on the clouds and background!!
Steven Adams!
Thanx Stuart. If you don't mind, this version has been touched up pretty heavily with Photoshop. During that day of shooting, I can only managed to get the esplanade with a very dull grey sky, but with some evening clouds. I went home pretty disappointed, but turned this disappointment into some consolation by using levelling in Photoshop.
Nice sky. I've been photographing the Esplanade for a while but I can only get it to look good with a blue sky (yes, me and a million others....) I like this version. It's refreshing!
