Challenge: Ansel Adams II (Advanced Editing VII*)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Location: Petronas Towers, Kuala Lumpur
Date: Jan 20, 2009
Aperture: 3.5
ISO: 1800
Shutter: 0.5 sec
Galleries: Black and White
Date Uploaded: Jan 20, 2009

 If Ansell was around today, I couldn't help but wonder how he'd interpret some of the world's more recent creations.

It's a little funny that this challenge is Advanced Editing when in true Ansell style maybe we should be trying to our best in situ.

Having said that:
Colour desaturation
Slight contrast adjustment


I took this while on a work trip to KL and didn't have my tripod. Trying to get the necessary exposure using a metre-high pole as tripod and propping the camera up on my fingers to get the angle just right was rather difficult! As a result the image isn't as crisp as it would have otherwise been, but I did my best.

Being in an urban environment with this challenge would be tough, you have made a really nice image that meets the essence of Adams....nice job

If Ansel had been around to see this, he might have well taken this shot. Great perspective.
