Gothic Church

[DigiCosmicAngel]

This is a photo I took a few weeks back of a small parish church

Before:


Post Processing was done in Adobe Photoshop CS3, I used the:
fisheye filter
levels adjustment
hue / saturation
brightness / contrast
Clone tool to remove the sign in the bottom right corner

I also cropped the image slightly to remove unwated objects such as the pole on the top left side of the photo.

After:


Looks like a scene from some sort of horror movie, don't you think?

The entry looks awesome as does the white stonework. The only thing I don't like is just above the entry, looks too over exposed. Maybe if you could make the sky darker above to give it contrast? Otherwise, it looks really good.

very cool!

looking at how it gets darker as you look inside... thats quite a statement. love it.

Thanks! ^^

blarg > I've tried darkening the over exposed area as you said. Not sure if this is what you meant:



If anyone has a better way of reducing over exposed areas please let me know. I've used exposure adjustment in photoshop for this.

Think the original is better. Um... I was thinking just trying to get a different contrast between the sky and the top of the church. Perhaps using the new sky on the original photo? I'm not sure how to do this myself as I'm still learning photoshop too. But basically what I'm getting at is to put some contrast between the sky and the top of the building so the buidling stands out more at that point.
