I agree with the other comments. The lighting in the first image is excellent and the contrast between the old and new building facades adds interest.
Regarding the barrel distortion in image two, I've used Panorama Tools (free plug-in for Photoshop) effectively on several occasions to fix this problem. Panorama Tools works well in older versions of Photoshop (I use it in Version 6). Details of how to use Panorama Tools to correct barrel distortion can be found here: http://www.creativepro.com/article/photoshop-how-to-eliminate-barrel-distortion-caused-by-camera-lenses (look at the section called "A Mathematical Approach" towards the bottom of that page) Cheers Brian ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Brian Walters Western Sydney Australia http://members.westnet.com.au/brianwal/SL/ On Sat, 8 Nov 2008 07:23:34 -0800 (PST), "Rick Womer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > Downtown Denver has more architectural interest than many American cities > I've visited. > > http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8158726&size=lg > > (K10D, DA 50-200, ISO 400, f/9.5 @ 1/180) > > http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8158721 > > (same camera and lens, ISO 1100, f/5.6 @ 1/8, handheld) > > http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=8158723&size=lg > > (K10D, DA 16-45, ISO 560, f/6.7 @ 1/10, handheld) > > Some of the 50-200's pincushion distortion shows up in #2; someday I'll > get around to upgrading PE to one that can correct it... > > Rick > > > -- -- http://www.fastmail.fm - And now for something completely differentÂ… -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
