Challenge: Free Study XV (Advanced Editing IV)
Camera: Nikon D70s
Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5G IF-ED
Location: Camden, NJ
Date: Nov 4, 2006
Aperture: f/ 19
ISO: 200
Shutter: 30 seconds
Galleries: Cityscape, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Nov 30, 2006

 From our first trip to Camden, NJ at the beginning of the month. Liked the angle.

Post: Layer adjustments for levels, Brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Layer of Curves. I think I avoided NeatImage on this but I'm certain there were dust spots and something in the sky near the bridge that had to go. When I looked at it again prior to this submission I did some lens distortion correction to straighten the bridge and the buildings near the water level. Sharpen. Resize. Sharpen.

surprisingly, the gradients are not as rich here as it could of. This easily is a composition that belongs in top 10. but great work !
