It's a pretty spacy looking building, wouldn't you agree?Editing
This photo is made from three images combined in PaintShop Pro, my photo editor of choice for thirty years or more. The first image is the building, a 63-story hotel and condo in Dubai, reduced to very high contrast, and the sky erased. The second image is just a plain ol cloudy sky, merged with the third "image" - a circular gradient, with the center placed right behind the top of the tower. The result tends to grab your attention - partially, I think, because of the subliminal contradiction between the gradient sky, which suggests the sun is right behind the building, and the shadows, which indicate that the sun is off to the right. -steve johnsonIn my camera bag
These days I usually just carry an Oly OMD with a Samyang 7.5m and a Nikon P900Feedback
Don't be afraid to experiment!
