Challenge: Perspective V (Advanced Editing V)
Camera: Nikon D200
Lens: Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM for Nikon
Location: Melbourne Australia
Date: Dec 18, 2007
Aperture: F11
ISO: 200
Shutter: 4.5 seconds
Galleries: Cityscape, Landscape
Date Uploaded: Dec 18, 2007

 THE IMAGE: Once again at the Rialto Observation deck. The 10-20mm Sigma is perfect for skewed perspective. I love the lighting in this, about 40 minutes after sunset. This was another hand held image, shot be leaning the camera on the outdoor fence and taking a deep, deep breathe! It's a 4.5 second image!

THE EDIT: basic stuff: USM, Levels, Contrast, some dodge and burn to bring out some of the buildings. I like how it has an almost 3D effect.

PREDICTION: High hopes...but I am sure there will be many clever images. Perhaps 6.7???

You have a most awesome grip on editing. Here it seems like you didn't do too much but that's why its great - knowing the limits. I've found that for myself stopping before that boundary is difficult, excellent stuff

Wow, that was a good guess! Should have guessed it'd be you too, hotpasta. Congratulations on another high finish!

EDIT: Just noticed that bit about the shutter speed and the hand held! Wow that's impressive!!!
