Place de la Concorde - Paris, France
Help
The story of this photo:
This is the famous obelisk on the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
Take a look at my “HDR Cookbook”! It contains some more information on my techniques.
How it was shot:
> Handheld
> Camera: Nikon D90
> Lens: Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 18-200mm 1:3,5-5,6G ED VR
> This is no HDR. The effect was produced using Topaz Adjust in prost-processing
> Details can be found here
How it was post-processed in Photoshop:
> Used Topaz Adjust to bring out the details and colors
> Some color correction and sharpening in Photoshop
Any comments, feedback or criticisms is highly welcome! Thanks for viewing!
