Hoover Dam
Uploaded: December 06, 2010
I tried for a Tilt-Shift lens effect in Photoshop, using gradient selection, lens blur, high-pass sharpening and boosted saturation & vibrance.
The goal of the effect is to make an image resemble a photograph of a miniature model scene or diorama.
The image was taken walking on the new Tillman Bridge bypass, south of the dam; the single-arch concrete bridge soars 900' off the canyon floor.
The bridge's shadow (here, 4 pairs of verticals and a partial, rainbow-shaped curve) is cast on the dam's face in the late afternoon sun.

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.
Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
The following truth is one of the core philosophies of BetterPhoto:
I hear, I forget.
I see, I remember.
I do, I understand.
You learn by doing. Take your next online photography class.
