Collection:Where I Live Camera:Canon Power Shot SX10 IS Location: Sturt St. Ballarat, Vic. Australia Date: Jun 4, 2009 Aperture: 2.8 ISO: 125 Shutter: 1/1000 Date Uploaded: Jun 4, 2009
I took this this morning as I dodged the showers.
Used transform to straighten up the building. Replaced the bleached out but overcast sky with one from a shot a few minutes later.
The building has loads of character and supplementing in a stormy sky really adds a fantastic angle of drama. If I were to nitpick, then I might say that for myslef the angle looks a little awkward. I personaly feel that the angle needs to be more extreme if you were looking for interest through perspective, or to be front on looking either up or down... but that may just be me.
Ah, Ballarat, where the streets were once awash with Gold, and the Grand Achitecture still remains..........
On my screen, I can see artifacts through the sky from the PP. these don't seem to be evident (or at least as noticeable) in the rest of the image. Might be a result of the process you did with the different sky, but I like the dramitic look of it contrasting against the solid historic building
