Surrealize
Amber Escalation
This shot was taken in the Seattle Public Library where sadly you are not allowed to bring in your tripod, so I had shoot wide open at f2.8 to allow in the most light and be able to hand-hold the 9 exposures used to bring out all of the color in the shadows and highlights. Then, I added an adjustment layer for the color balance in order to add a bit more amber and warmth to a very yellow scene and bringing a bit more color separation to the escalator stairs. I also added a symmetry flip for the lights at the top to balance out the image and make it a little more abstract.
I've been trying to get ready for my big photo vacation in Thailand and Japan that is now only a couple of weeks away. I will only have 2 weeks and plan to visit, Tokyo, Bangkok, Phuket, and possibly Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Obviously, I will have to cover a lot of ground but it would be fantastic if folks could send me a Flickrmail with any tips, "must-see" locations, or photo opportunities. I'm super excited about traveling to Asia for my first time and can't wait to see all the amazing sights! Hope you all have a fantastic week!
