Take'n a Peek

This weekend I went to Botkins to take some pictures of the old AT&T transmission tower for my Radio Maria Post for my Cross Tipped Churches blog. I found this one to be the most artistic of the bunch. I wish I could do something about the equal horizontal thirds but it was pretty dark inside even with the light coming through the windows. I couldn't really see what I was capturing until I did some post processing. I still think it's a pretty cool shot.

Before and After a Little Help from PhotoShop

I posted the final product in my Cross Tipped Churches blog. This is one of my pre-visualizations. When I saw this picture forming before my camera lens, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted the finish product to look like.

Here is the first pic with nominal editing, mostly getting the crop that I want.



I did some adjustments with shadow and highlights, brightness and contrast, burned and dodged and added my text and my vision was complete.
