"Night (Redux)"

Tonight I went out to shoot a night photo, trying to overexpose it so that it looked like it was day. It didn't work too well, so I took the photo (the original that is in the upper left hand corner) and dropped the exposure in processing, one step for every level you see on the photo. Then I increased the saturation across, as well as the vibrance. Every level has its own level of saturation as well, from 20-40 in the top row to 80-100 in the bottom row.


This photo was very detailed and because of that, I've spent 2 days trying to upload it. The only copy I could get online that wasn't rejected from the server was on Facebook. I then downloaded it off Facebook and put it online here. The quality suffers some because of that but at least its a solution. I hope you enjoy.

"Urban Geometry"

This photo was taken outside looking in on a geometric display at Urban Outfitters on State Street. Boost the contrast a bit, and the saturation and vibrance. Just minor tweaks, but it turned out interesting. The lighting wasn't even, but it gives it a little contrast.

I'll figure this day out...

"Tilized"

I saw these colors at the local Panera Bread and had to take a photo. Now I'm just wondering if this photo is not level all the way across because of barrel distortion or because of the tiling job...
