Around the Corner
Posted by Vaidas (Leeds, United Kingdom) on 13 February 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.
Just a street shot in the riverside area of Leeds
@eydryan: Thanks, I guess I got really lucky with this shot as this little street was totally empty for a while and I was about to go look for other spots when I saw the Clio coming :) I was trying to close down the aperture to get longer shutter speed but couldn't really manage it in time, so I just snapped it as it was. Looks like the photo still has a slight feeling of movement, even at 1/160 s. :)

Just like a car advert! I love it. Nice photo to start a photoblog with.

@Levine: Thanks :) One of my friends jokingly suggested offering the photo to Renault for a poster :D

you know what you could do, try dodging the headlights a bit and the windows of the car and trust me it'll look like a showroom photo :) i've done this kind of thing once and you won't believe what crisp, clear and impressive results you will get... (you basically add more contrast to the car by lifting the highlights).
if you want to i'll play with it and show you. just tell me so.
again great photo :)

@eydryan: Having seen the quality of photo editing of your own photos, I'd love to see your improvements of this one! :) It would be really interesting :)

ok, this is what i've done with it and hey, i just play with them no need to praise me for my editing. but thanks :)
so i've played with it. another thing to be done with a high res version is sharpening,,, and i lost some tones on the headlights. also, because it was dark and gloomy i did a bw version as well. here you go:

version three: http://www.imagehost.ro/viewer.php?img=291041564684b7c4ef10f
enjoy :) and tell me what you think. again, i don't think i've added much to your image in my editing but just to share my ideas i guess..

@eydryan: Thanks for the effort. I can see the image links properly when replying to your post, but copying the addresses and trying to reach them gives me the "problem loading page" message on Firefox :/
