Standard-Issue Picture of Independence Hall
This is my standard-issue picture of Independence Hall. If you go to Philadelphia you have to take a picture of Independence Hall. That is just the way it is. I am aware there is nothing really interesting going on here. I thought about adding some foliage on the right to balance things out, but then I thought, why bother? It's just a standard-issue picture of Independence Hall. I did try to juice it up for you. I tried to fix the perspective and over-sharpen and over-saturate and pull up the shadows, but still have it be sort of believable. I hope you don't mind. This is one of the rare photos where I just worked from the jpeg, since it is just a standard issue picture of Independence Hall. Of course this is a very historic site and is where much of our nation's history and unique government structure were shaped. How do you show that in a picture? Like I always say writing about photography is like listening to music about writing. The quality of the jpeg was such that I had an existential crisis, like, why do I even have a DSLR if my compact can take a jpeg format picture of this technical quality and with this much room for editing before I start getting banding and pixels going wonky? Truth be told, however, this particular compact probably has the same sensor as the RX100 Mk IV (but not the same quality lens--the Panasonic has a slower and not as tack sharp 10-times zoom).
