Challenge: Postcard II (Advanced Editing V*)
Collection: Settings
Camera: Canon PowerShot A530
Location: New York, NY
Date: Nov 19, 2006
Aperture: 6.3
Shutter: 320
Galleries: Urban, Landscape
Date Uploaded: Nov 19, 2006

View of Manhattan from the Brooklyn Bridge. different curves for buildings and sky. resize. sharpen buildings, not sky. The blueness came right out of the camera. My white balance was set to "Tungsten." What does that mean?

post-challenge: thanks to raish for the explanation of Tungsten. Now I need to see what other camera setting I can screw up. This will do wonders for my average!

The font is supposed to remind you of typewriters. To those of you who don't know what typewriters are, I apologize.

Well, she does have a decent sense of humour. I guess it was for a trip down:

What was posthumous doing on the Brooklyn Bridge? I did not peg this for a New Jersey-ite's entry. And I was wondering who did this to the view ;-)

The blue is gorgeous!!! Surprising the photo didn't score much higher. A lovely entry for this challenge. Well done.

Tungsten is metal used in filaments for incandescent light bulbs. Presumably they give a yellow sort of light so that the camera invokes a blue cast to compensate for it. If the word comes from Swedish, then it means 'heavy stone' - who knew? As you see it is has magical properties that enable people to score over six. Congrats, and it's a great shot. Where would all this have been without Batman?

The bat symbol should have projected onto the clouds....
Same bat channel, same bat time.

The type chosen is very appropriate for this.

Very good. I'd like this better if it was black and white but I can see why this would be a better choice for the challenge.

love the color, contrast and composition - but the font really needs some work - not modern enough

I'd prefer to see the top of this shot cropped to a little above the text. The bright sky above the clouds detracts from the cityscape. And by cropping that portion, you would have a more standard postcard size. I'd also pick a nicer font. Courier doesn't have much appeal.

Good job of using the blue for the moodiness of Gothan City. I'm not sure about the placement of the text, but I don't see a better spot for it.
