Shoot in the street of Porto - Portugal. A beautiful town, but a lot of broken and abandoned house. A paradise for photographer.

Assignment: PCA 34 Windows
Deadline:July 27, 2008
Image Tag: pca 34
From: i witness photography
Mission:
Windows...we all have them. It is your mission to capture them in the way you "see" them. Any number, any type. Broken, new, old, stained or clean, the choice is only limited by your imagination. Although I tend to favor black and white images, I will not make that a requirement...I know some of us have a disdain for such monochromatic imagery...hehehe:)
WIT:
I found this a tough one - took a few tentative shots of various windows today - a couple of which were shop windows that could be interesting.... then I saw this and figured it was the one.
I took a look at what it looks like in B&W but like the brick colors.
i suppose I could have moved a little to the right, but might have lost the steeple.
This was at the Lowell Folk Festival in MA and an old-time Gospel singer was singing in the background... It added some atmosphere to the shot for me.
I used two levels adjustment layers, one selecting the brick and frames only and one over the entire photo. I wanted to darken the frames and brick a little more than the panes. Then a slight (5%) extra saturation layer
While visiting the Reading room in the newly refurbished British Museum, London, I looked up and saw this amazing rooflight !
Then with the help of photoshop I was able to clone the image a few times !
( the REAL rooflight is in the centre of the original photo ! )
