 Saratoga Performing Arts Center. I was there with the Mendelssohn Club of Philadelphia to sing the Beethoven 9th with the Philadelphia Orchestra. It was a whirl of a day and some....left Philly at 9:00am got to Saratoga at 2:00PM. Had a break to 02:45 cause we were early, well on time but they changed the schedule while we were on the way...oy! Warm up. Break. Rehearse with orchestra. Break for dinner. Dress. Warm up. Sing the Star Spangled Banner and sit on stage for 75 + minutes and trying to stay awake after having been fed TURKEY for dinner....it did not work. Finally sing the 4th movement. Off stage. To buses. Drive to Albany for an overnight stay at Sage College. Froze to death in the dorm and could not sleep but an hour or two. Went to Breafast, got on the Bus at 10:00 AM and was back in Philly at 03:00PM. WHEW!

So in between all that, I took some pictures. This is one of them. I did not take it upside down. DNMC!!!! But I liked they way it looked flipped 180° and horizontal so here you go. Enjoy!

Post: Convert from Raw in PSElements 3.0 with a +0.33 exposure compensation. Flipped 180° and flipped horizontal. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Another layer of hue/saturation converting to grayscale. Another layer each of levels and brightness/contrast. Layer of curves adjustment. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen.

love the recurring shapes - it works upside down well

this is one case where flipping the image works somewhat, although it would still be better oriented properly

I love the flow of the rows and the black and white really works great.

Very interesting visual. An even wider dof would have been nice to see. << 7 >>
