Challenge: Benches (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-400D Rebel XTi

Date: Nov 23, 2008
Aperture: F-22
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/10 sec
Date Uploaded: Nov 23, 2008

During editing, came down to 2 shots that I liked. This one and another where the benches looked like they were actually marching. This one was a washed out shot that came back thru basic color burning (3 different colors) and adjusting highlightes...

Unusual use of light but really fun to see the beams this way. I like the angle so the non-benches in the background are not prominent or distracting; I imagine the view is dramatically different if you stand up. And while ordinarily I would think blowing out the sky was a bad thing, in this case it works for me. I see a little banding where the sky meets the bench on top and on the left that feels to me like it should be blurred or cloned to remove the harshness.
