| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #15 March 23rd 2006 01:28:22 | OK, everyone else is having fun with this one so I thought I'd give it a try. First I cropped off some of the edges to use the interesting column on the left as a framing element. Then I used Fill Flash to bring the details out a bit in the shadows. I cranked up the contrast (too much, perhaps). And I played with getting rid of some of the blown out areas. Check the bottom step and stone on the right side of the frame. I used the Clone Tool to copy some color and texture from adjacent areas over the pure white. Fixing all the blown out areas could be done but I'll leave it to Barney to do the heavy lifting. (Maybe Adrian will stop by and show us a better way.) |

| Barnaby Everett (barney) Msg: #16 March 23rd 2006 09:04:41 | Thanks for all the suggestions people! I like your changes Jill, they make the colours better and the whole picture a little richer. It's interesting what had been said about bracketing though. I've heard of it before but never put it into practice. This is one of those shots that you can do a lot with in photoshop but I think the real damage to it was done at the photography stage when I should have gone for a slightly shorter exposure. I'll bare the bracketing thing in mind next time. By the way Jill, this shot was taken at Angkor, Cambodia. Not sure which particular temple I'm afraid, they all blur into one a bit after 3 days! | |||||||||||||||||||||
