Photos observing

Greenwich observatory, where the day is measured from.

 

This one is as exported from Aperture with only a crop and increased contrast. I tried to achieve the same effect in Photoshop cs2, but the simple contrast control was useless - I had to adjust the RGB curve with 3 control points. I wonder how Aperture's control works.. (the contrast is actually maxed out on the Aperture slider and instantly improves the photo, but within Photoshop it only took about +20% to destroy the clouds, and even then the blue sky was basically untouched).

 

The contrast control in CS2 is worthless. You need an upgrade to CS3

Anyways, very nice shot. The silhouette works, and is done, quite well.

 

Neat! I like the clouds and the size of the silhouette

 

thanks. it kinda reminds me of outerspace, which i guess is only apt
