SOOC Sunday #2

Above is the screenshot from Bridge showing the Before and After of today’s SOOC feature.

This was a shot I took of a “ferris wheel” (it is actually called the Skyview of something like that) in Niagara Falls. It is a long exposure shot done at night (f18.0, 6.0 seconds, ISO 200) that I was actually quite happy with straight of the camera. I cropped it down to 16”x20” as that is the size of print I wanted, but it wasn’t actually necessary as the original composition worked quite well. I converted the image to black and white. This was something I struggled with for a little while as I actually found the slight blue colours around the edges of the image very interesting, but the crisp whites when converted to black and white won over in the end.
