1/100 sec @ f/1.8, ISO 200, 50 mm (EF50mm f/1.8 II) Today is my first day back at the client site after a break for the last two months. Since I was last staffed at this client, they have completed a move to a new building. As a result, there are tons of new potential subjects for the Project. I found this exit sign in the parking garage right above the space where I parked this morning. Instead of heading into the office immediately, I pulled out the camera and took several shots. This angle of looking almost straight up at the sign from the ground was my favorite.
In post processing I applied a gradient filter to the bottom of the image to tone down the spectral highlight on the sign. I played around with both colored versions and black and white versions. Ultimately, I chose the antique black and white edit because I felt the composition of the image became the focus more so than in the colorized version. It also looks like I applied a white vignette to this photograph when, in fact, I did not. This “artifact” became more apparent after the black and white conversion.
A self-proclaimed tech-geek, I enjoy anything powered by batteries or electricity. I'm not happy until I understand the full potential of any new gadget I get my hands on....
