Cool ATL Skyline... Before and After

So a few weeks back I let myself into a building that is currently under construction here in Atlanta. It's a 50-story condo building. I hiked up all the stairs taking breaks on the 20-ish, 30-ish, and 40-ish floors to go out onto some of the balconies that were nothing but concrete slabs at the time to get pics of the city. I also got up on he roof to get some shots as well. On one of the balconies I was able to capture a great panoramic of the city comprised of three shots and then stiched together. I ligned the shots up so good that I was able to put the three pics together by hand quite quickly and easily. Then I took it into Photoshop to add a little drama to it =D Here are the Before and After pics. Hope you enjoy!

Before
From ATL from The Atlantic

After

I really like how you brought out the details in the processed photo.

Great post processing koby. Looks like a floodlight was switched on. Really brings out all the detail. Very nice work my friend. I like how you had the adventure to get the shot as well.

Jake.

Nicely done, Koby! I see you've managed to get in everything from Colony Square down to Marietta Street. Love the PP.

LOL!!! You find an opening in the fence around the building and just start walking, or in my case biking around =D check out the rest of the shots HERE
It's a bit more busy these days as the workers are there longer hours... I hung out for hours the other night hoping they'd leave but they worked well into the night...
