Updating my take on a location I last visited a year ago, this is the west atrium inside the 35-storey CityPoint Building on Ropemaker Street. I would have used any excuse to revisit the location because it's such a beautiful example of geometric urban architecture, but my aim when reshooting this look-up was to capture a wider, sharper, brighter and slightly more balanced finish.
The image is a blend of seven exposures, allowing for a very clean finish in the shadows while controlling the highlights at the top of the atrium. Using luminosity masks combined with dodging and burning, I was also able to emphasise the structure of the building and the reflections in its glass. Finally, I desaturated the warmer colours within the windows (where, even at dusk on a quiet Sunday, there were people working), and created a gradient map to add a slightly cooler tone within the shadows.

Entre rieles y líneas, el paso del tren se funde con el paisaje urbano de una ciudad sumergida en una tranquila calma de fin de semana.

De temperatuur is het afgelopen etmaal flink onderuit gegaan, wat ook mooi weer mee brengt. In een stralend zonnetje passeert HSL 1832 Liesbos tussen Breda en Etten-Leur met de fraaie BLG autotrein 51500. De trein was met HSL onderweg van Emmerich naar Roosendaal, 11 januari 2013.

Saturday Self-Challenge: Take a photo and post process it to achieve the goal for your subject.
Earlier this week, I had a chance to visit the beautiful Winterthur Museum and Gardens. During my tour of the gardens, I saw a hedgerow of Elephant Ear plants (Colocasia). The sun was shining brightly on the leaves; I had never studied them up close before, and did not realize how incredibly beautiful the leaf structure was. Backlighting by the sun revealed an intricate pattern that made for a perfect natural abstract.
Post-processing involved cropping,increasing highlights, sharpening and use of the HDR effect by PicMonkey.
Have a wonderful weekend, my friends! :-)
Took the images early this year when the weather was still forgiving and the air was still fresh to breath in on a beautiful but short sunset. Wanted to process this earlier but was struggling because of the dynamic range. Somehow, I finally find how to edit it recently and happy with the result for now. The image is part of a frames from the time lapse taken that sunset.
