The previous photo ‘The Royal Stables’ I posted, I shot over at the right hand side of this image. The photos are shot within a few minutes, but as you can see, they are very different in nature.

About the processing
This photo is a single exposure, processed in Lightroom 4. What I have basically done, is to raise the Shadows to 100 and then lower the Highlights to -100. This move made the ‘mood’ of the photo. The next steps I did was fine tuning (using curves), raised clarity a little.

The last steps I did was cleaning up in the photo, like removing the shadow from the tripod, removing a nasty green color cast from a lamp.

As you can see, the mood is very different from ‘The Royal Stables’ and I like both, they are just different.

About the composition
My idea with composition was both to have a lead in line, using the edge of the bassing, and the second was using the lamp as a kind lamp like the tower on the the building. The lamp seems very large and has much the same shape as the tower.

This is the Queen Victoria Building in Sydney. It is a Mekka for photographers. It is very beautiful with all it’s tiles, skylight roof and 100s a small shops with all kinds of goodies. They even have a couple of danish specialities. And then they have these two great watches hanging. This one has got a small ship going round and around. It is on the right hand side on the photo.
I found the building by using Stuck in Customs iPad app Stuck on Earth. However I had only just entered the door and touched my tripod, when tripod police showed up and said ‘Sorry – no tripods’. Damn… So I had to my shots hand held, which not too big a problem on this one, because of the railing, but other ones were bad.
