Re: A view fit for a King
Hi Dirtygoat,
I hope you don't mind but I had a go at using Photoshop to change aspects of the photo. As it stands I find the composition rather colourless and flat. Perhaps taking the picture during a sunrise / sunset would bring out the colour as the location looks good (apart form the mast but that can always get taken out using PS).
I adjusted the levels slightly and applied a crop in order to change the perspective. I also tried increasing the saturation in order to bring out the greens of the trees and surrounding land.
What do you think?
Regards
Keith
Re: A view fit for a King
Interesting, sunset or sunrise would of really added some dramatic lighting effects. I might of needes special permission to get in at those hours though. I already did some quick fix in photoshop, adding the warmer tone to it makes it look a little bit unnatural, its a good job though and does look a bit more like sunset or sunrise. Thanks for the critique.
Re: A view fit for a King
I think it's really hard to take a good shot of a town like this, unless there's something particularly eye-catching in the frame. Towns in general are very cluttered, and I think they lead to confusing photos. I'd echo earlier comments, the town would like nicer in early morning light, or a good sunset. There'd also se less haze, so the colors would come out better.
However, I'd say the view is pretty amazing from up there. :-)
