| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #1 June 12th 2005 18:00:43 | This is a new one on me, so it probably is just a Spanish/Catalan thing. I've never seen any in France that I can recall, and they're pet mad... Onto the photograph itself. It's an interesting documentary shot, but there are a number of distracting things from my perspective - firstly there's the flat white sky, then there's the slight rotation, and then there's the barrel distortion. Easiest option for the sky is simply cropping it, the rest are slightly, but only slightly, more complex. So, what did I do? Cropped to remove the blown sky. Then rotated 0.62°CCW to correct the tilt, based on the underside of the dogwash lid - used the MeasureTool to draw along it, and then Rotate/Arbitrary to correct it. Then I used the PanoTools plugin (free download here) to correct the minor barrel distortion - Radial shift, B, -0.015. I hope you like it :) | missing image | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Adrian Warren (AdrianW) Msg: #2 June 12th 2005 18:02:05 | OK, I wonder why that didn't work. Let me try again... Oh and I forgot that I'd also ran Shadow/Highlights (Shadows +35) to bring out some more detail in the front of the machine. |

| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #3 June 12th 2005 18:31:49 | A lot better, IMHO. I think I'd have cropped tighter on the sides in order to bring the front of the machine into more dominance. | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Andy Leach (RedAndy) Msg: #4 June 12th 2005 23:58:10 | Thanks - I completely accept it's a pretty mindless snap. I wasn't thinking of it from a photo perspective at all, looks much better now :-) I might try and lose the sky completely, it's still a little bright. | |||||||||||||||||||||
