Issit done with a software filter in Photoshop?
Can't remember the technique liaoz...

**benny** · 2nd Jan 2006, 00:51

Nope. It's not done with any software filter. I just caught the dramatic lighting as I was leaving the house for church and quickly grabed my camera to fire a few shots.

Cheers,

It was really like that.... black skies, but the buildings were basking in the setting sun.

But, the rain that followed shortly was MEGA heavy man!

if there were flashes of lightning in the picture, it would have been more dramatic... but i still like the picture... such contrast...

That's because it's shot with a telephoto lens, not wide angle lens.

benny how come no EXIF?

**benny** · 2nd Jan 2006, 11:00

Don't know. I just use the save for web function and I can never get any EXIF information. Not that anybody cares anyway.

well it would bear your name and sometimes your camera body serial number, at least until the rip-off artiste bother to edit them out. PSCS writes a subset of EXIF only. EOS Viewer (RAW converter) writes a more complete set including serial number and lens focal range (for zoom).

I'm sure those guys in skyscrapercity.com forum will definitely love this pix.

Great capture!
