A mid-morning shot of a downtown business building, using a Nikon D70 with a Nikkor 70-300mm G lens. Lens set at 85mm, f/8 for 1/1000 sec. at ISO 200. Stormy sky conditions were added in PS Elements 2.

The shot has a lot of impact, and I particularly like the building. However, the sky looks overdone and a bit 'glitchy'. #167868Rob Bishop September 11, 2004
Thanks, Shirley. I agree, the sky could have used more fine tuning.Shirley D. Cross-Taylor September 11, 2004
It has a funny pattern in it. Sorry, Rob. #770007Dan Holm September 11, 2004
Teriffic find and capture, Rob! Very blue, very cool! #770104bob cornelison September 11, 2004
I tend to agree with Shirley that this is a great capture of the building but the sky is out of whack. Now I like shots that are tweeked in ps but this sky doesn't seem to work in this case. Love the building though!~:O) #770485Isabel L September 11, 2004
