Description

Took this when I was working in the city. Used multiple layers to create the effects. One layer for the cars used a motion blur. Used the unsharp mask to get greater detail and a multiply mask to really bring out the sky. Seems as though the sky is going to open up and take everything with it.

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: -1.00, ExposureTime: 1/125 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 100, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 18.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi

Hi Shaw love this picture. The building is great and the effects fantastic.

Did you use a tripod? How were you positioned to take it?

Fernanda
Thank you!! This shot was handheld. I don't really ever use a tripod. Keep it in the car just in case but I like to be flexible and quick to change with the action. I was on the side walk on the other side of the street, with the way the streets were layed out was able to get a good angle. #9440336
