Egg Abstract


 

BetterPhoto.com Editor's Pick   		Egg Abstract
Egg Abstract
A short evening walk in Albany, NY, brought me to their famous building, "The Egg", which houses 2 auditoriums.
It has to be one of the more unusual public buildings in the country! (A view from afar is in the Discussion Thread.)
I only had my iPhone for a camera on this trip, so my Albany walkabout is an iPhone walkabout as well.

Michelle - I find the iPhone only works really well in well-lit situations. High contrast scenes don't translate well at all on the phone in my experience; nice, even lighting seems better; not too much bright and not too much deep shadow.

That said, I still ran this through NIK for some polishing & tweaking... ;)
