Challenge: Window View (Advanced Editing I)
Camera: Canon EOS-300D Rebel
Location: Toronto, Ontario
Date: Apr 5, 2004
Aperture: f7.1
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/100 sec
Galleries: Cityscape, Black and White
Date Uploaded: Apr 10, 2004

 The CN Tower, a Toronto landmark, taken from the windows of the staircase of the Skywalk.

The camera was set to night mode, I intentionally didn't use fill flash for the window frames as I wanted them to be dark.

Post processing: perspective correction, levels adjustment, cloned out some obvious dirt and light reflection from the window glass, converted to black & white using channel mixer, cropped, resized. I also selectively applied usm to the tower and the buildings since when applied to the entire image at once, halos on the edges of the window frames became very apparent.

Canon 18-55mm lens.

Tricky angles ... with unlimited editing here I might have tried using perspective correction to get more of the major elements closer to vertical. Good exposure/tone range and DOF.

Great shot, shame it's wonky. Try using 'distort' or 'perspective' in Photoshop.

I really like the composition of this photo, and the black and white really adds to the effect.

Great shot, love the way the top fits and the restaurant shows through the middel pane

The tilt should be enhanced to make it appear deliberate, or else straightened out. Very, very nice exposure and use of the challenge idea, though!

Great idea. I'll bet there aren't too many shots of this (CN Tower?) from this angle. Good luck!
