About Subject Background: Still trying to catch up with all the great pictures that were uploaded by my UF friends. This one was made on the first day - as often, the sky was perfect just this day. kind of shame that I did just a few pictures to warm up ;-)


Photoshop concept: Worked on the middle tone contrasts, that's it. Achieved a desaturated look thereby.

As always: Honest feedback highly appreciated.

Hi Verena,

ja, der Himmel war wirklich irre. more to come =)

leider war das nur am ersten tag so, wo wir nur für ein paar stündchen zum bummeln reingefahren sind. mist =)

der schiefe turm von pisa war wirklich die idee zum bild, und daher auch der titel. gut gesehen =)

LG,
Thilo

Dear Maria,

okay, slowly but surely we understand each other ;-)

My rework on the darker part of the tower is for sure "artificial". But I didn't feel comfortable with the underexposed tower so I go for a modification ;-)

thx for the feedback,
thilo

hahahaha Hi Thilo:
I'm very vague... I don't understand where was the original for view the sky. I think what it was in another shot hahahaha.
My english is very bad too ;-)
Ok, the shot:
I think what the problem is the light!
A shine sky look here make a back-lighting because in a tall tower the flash isn't possible.
It is only my opinion.
Kisses.

Danke fürs ehrliche feedback,

sorry, dies ist mir ein wenig zu "tricky", irgendwie fehlt da für mich der hingucker. die schiefe allein rettet es mir noch nicht....macht aber nix, ist ja alles ganz subjektiv...;-)immerhin, die bearbeitung ist in ihrem ergebnis doch schon beeindruckend. es lebe das digitale fotolabor (ohne das ich mittlerweile auch sehr aufgeschmissen wäre...)

vg, uwe

Hi Stefan,

great idea. I didn't think about that one when I stood there. Perhaps I would think about it if I had my tripod with me... ;-)
Great advice.

Stefan Engström   {K:24473} 10/6/2004
I can see how it would be hard to do more with the light on the tower. A complicated solution would be to take two shots - this one and one with two or even three stops more exposure and then get out your photoshop scissors and glue.

Dear Antonio,

thanks for checking the picture again. you're definitely right about the loss in detail. I traded the detail in the tower against the detail in the sky ;-)
When I made this shot I had in mind what I will do in PS.
thanks again,
thilo

Antonio Trincone   {K:23167} 10/6/2004
Thilo, as I see the original shot I can recognize your ability to re-creates right exposure. It is in the nature of this process however what I told you in the first message about the lost of texture in the dark shadows, as I figured out before.

Hi Thilo,weil Du 'desaturated look' geschrieben hast,dachte ich die Farben im Original seien kräftiger,aber jetzt sehe ich,dass Deine Bearbeitung doch sehr erfolgreich ist...:=)
...sehr cool.

Dear Gayle,

the 3D look probably comes from my middle tone rework. I like this effect a lot although it doesn't fit with every scene ;-)

Dear Roby,

glad that you like the diagonal concept. It's a bit hard but I think it's different.
thanks for the warm words.
take care my friend.

Dear Maria,

thanks for the honest words.

As for the sky: I uploaded the original picture. Please have a look and tell me if your verdict is still the same.

Dear Hugo,

thanks for the lengthy and elaborate comment. I was a bit reluctant regarding the diagonal beginning in the lower left... but then decided to present the tower in this way. Glad you like the outcome.

Comments for the two other images are coming today, still struggling with my work =)

take care,
thilo

Dear Antonio,

LOL on the tourist story. =)
In fact I admire the chance to make siesta during lunch time. When I look outside, I just see rain falling down.

As for the detail: I uploaded the original picture. Please have a look and tell me if your verdict is still the same.

take care,
Thilo

As some viewers don't recognize what I did with PS, I will upload the original picture. Please have a look and tell me if the PS rework is good or bad.

thanks a lot.

Bold perspective!!!!!!!!!!
The sky (i think) is too artificial.
But is a good job!

first a note on the italian subject by foreing people as seen by an italian; it is an extremely interesting view for me in that it explains how tourists see my country! :)
for this shot I suppose some work in PS ruined a bit the sharpness of the Campanile di San Marco in Venice, texture of the wall brown surface seems to be a bit lost in this process

Hugo de Wolf Hugo de Wolf   {K:185110} 10/5/2004
Hi Thilo, a very intriguig shot.

Intersting to see how the tower and the skyscape work together. Not sure what creates it, but it looks a bit as if the skyscape with the small tuffs of cloud seem to diminuish the perspective in the tower. This could very well be emphasised by the little contrast due to the lack of a single (apparent) direction of the light. It creates a very cool effect, though.

The angle at which you took this shot is very well chosen, and I like the simple layout of the image. Well composed! Normally I wouldn't dream of having such a strong line interesect with one of the corners of the image, but lookign at this, I think I'm wrong there; it works pretty well. Nice one!

Thanks for your comment, much appreciated! I'll reply in a few days, to let it sink in a bit...;o)

Cheers,

Hugo

Hi Stefan,

thx for the constructive feedback. in fact, I added some lighting to the tower =)
I made some pictures with lighting correction but destroyed some details in the sky thereby - something I definitely didn't want.
take care,
Thilo

One word: soaring! I know you are shooting against the sun here but would it not be nice to have some more light on the tower?
