Photograph Information Photographer's Comments
Challenge: Shallow DOF II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-10D
Lens: Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM
Location: Ægissíða, Reykjavik, Iceland
Date: Dec 20, 2005
Aperture: f/1.8
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/200
Date Uploaded: Dec 20, 2005

 Most of the editing was done in Adobe Camera RAW. I added some vignetting, messed with exposure, contrast, white balance and so on. Other than that I fixed the red lights in Photoshop as there was an yellow/white spot inside both of the red lights which I didn't like. As spot-editing is not allowed I converted the image into lab mode and used both curves and hue/sat adjustment layers to fix the lights and to get a nice red hue without affecting the rest of the image.
Slight Smart Sharpen after rezise.

pekesty wanted to know about the background object. To answer that it is a sort of chimney. I photographed this at a small sewage pumping/cleaning station by the sea.

Very unique and creative photo. One of my favorites of the challenge. Can't wait to find out what the background object is.
