Filter Fun with Reflections [Contest Finalists December 2004]
Uploaded: December 17, 2004 00:07:26
This started out as simple reflections-on-building shot. When I was editing it in PS CS, I thought I'd try to see what the Kyoto Color filter would do to liven up the colours. Then, once I'd got started experimenting with filters on this, I just kept going, and eventually wound up using at least 4 or five different ones! Wish I could remember what they all were! Aperture priority; ISO 100; f/3.5, ss 1/320.
