Architecture and trees. Elements of three.
Enhanced in Camera Raw to enhance the trees with Hightlight, Shadows and White sliders. Then smart sharpened in Photoshop to bring out trees even more.
This is the new exterior panelling going on the Shaw Centre downtown (formerly the Glenbow). It’s only about half done but the remodel will be spectacular when finished. I shot this with my iPhone using RAW and edited in Photoshop.
So interesting Paul. Nicely balanced.
UofC sculpture near skating oval.
F/3.5; 1/100 sec.; ISO 160. Processed in Light Room to balance brighter street lighting to the darker area of the alcove. Cropped slightly to cut out distracting figure in white that was to the left of photo. I wanted only the figure sitting on bench in the photo. Shot from alcove of Hudson’s Bay building on Stephen Avenue.
F/2.8; 1/160 sec. ; ISO 125. Processed in Light Room. Straight-on shot of Gulf Canada Square building from top of stairs across the street.
I love the reflections that you captured Nick.

I visited my daughter in London last week and we always spend a couple of nights at the seaside. This is the metal frame of Brighton’s West Pier that was destroyed by arson 20 years ago, just before it was about to be restored. I positioned myself to get the kite and the sunbather in the frame for added interest.

We walked along the promenade to Brighton from our Airbnb in Hove and saw lots of architecture! This construction scene caught my eye because it was so busy, with the bonus colourful jumble of kayaks in the foreground. I enjoy creating layered photos. I saw the jogger coming and snapped when he was framed by the brick walls.
