indianapolis area Learning Curve

I had no idea which category to place this in. Please advise and/or

comment on this image. Thanks!

Beautiful image. I'm very glad that you didn't attempt to make it perfectly symmetrical in perspective. It helps that I love libraries and books. I think you title works well, too.

Christel...This must be the new library...incredible. Love the title ...maybe we will see this in club competition. Becky

Christal... Great tones and composition. A far cry from the old, dusty, musty City library that I recall from school (no comments about age)... Mike

 

 

This is great! Love the tones and pov and you nailed the title. Nicely done Christal

 

Warm regards, Pamela

 

Good choice for B&W here too. I might push the black point a bit more; but that's just me. Who the hell cares about categories either? Landscape? A human landscape? Abstract? Like I said, "Who cares?" Well done! Cheers! Chris

Thanks, folks! Glad you like this one. We have a spectacular new library here.....long time in coming due to construction misfires causing them to go over budget. But it's a place that we can be proud of. Check out Becky Brill's picture of the outside of the building. http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9279687

 

Chris, with regard to the black point.......would you happen to know how 'to push the black point' in PS4? All I have is RBG channels, and a contrast and highlight control. I agree with you.....I just don't know if there is a way for me to do that with this program. Or if anyone else would like to chime in on this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

 

The last layer I add in my post-pro is a Curves layer. With the Curve open in CS3, I hold down the alt key and slide the left slider until I get a spot of pure black appearing. That fixes my black point. I repeat with the white point (alt-key and grab the right side slider and pull it to the left until you begin to see the appearance of pure white). It is a matter of taste.

 

Now, having said all of this, and carefully looking at this image again, I think you've got it just right as it is. Well done! Cheers! Chris

Ahhh..therein lies the problem. PS4 doesn't have Curves. It's really quite primitive. If I can ever get around to getting a new computer, I can load my new CS4 program.....this computer just can't handle it. Thanks for the info anyway! Sorry I put you to the trouble! But also thanks for your re-evaluation of this image. :-)

Wonderful title and even better image which I rated 6. I also learned something from Christopher especially as I don't use the curves command.  All the very best for 2012 and i am hoping to see some new images.

Daily Sampling again... You're on a roll ;-)... Mike

Hey, thanks Mike!  I've been gone all day.....completely missed this!  Thanks for letting me know....you're a good buddy!  :-)  Have a good weekend!
