Bruges Midday [Contest Finalists July 2007]
Uploaded: July 16, 2007 08:39:02
Manual mode, 1/15 sec, f/11, RAW, ISO-100, Hitech .3 and .6 ND grads,tripod. Taken 8 July 2007 in Bruges, Belgium. I inverted the 1 stop grad to tone down the reflection and used the 2 stop grad to exaggerate the darkened sky. I also took a deliberately low POV and tilted the camera up just a little to get a slight converged vertical effect. I thought it gave the sky a more imposing feel. I hope you like it.
