Architect's whim II

Posted by MnX (Shanghai, China) on 16 November 2006 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Ok it's the same building. But it isn't recycled photo. This one is from yesterday evening. I wanted to try some suggestions that H.O. http://ho.aminus3.com/ gave to me. This photo isn't the one I prefer from yesterday, but it's certainly the one that fits the best in architecture category. The camera was set on Monochrome with slightly improved sharpness and contrast. I then used the auto-color (yep auto-color for B&W...-_-) in photoshop... I think it's more powerfull than yesterday's post, what about you which one is the best? Suggestions are still highly welcome.

I definitely prefer this version. You're right, it's a very powerful image. So how do you like the 5D?

@Philip Putnam: It's been almost 2 monthes since I purchased the 5D. At the beginning I was really embarassed having such a camera with my low skill level, but I think it pushed me a little to do my best. I had a try to a 300D and wasn't pleased after using my EOS 30. And finally Using a 5D instead of my EOS 30 allowed me to do as much picture in 2 monthes than in 8 monthes before...(I actually don't want a print of my pictures so I put the EOS 30 photos on CD... no real gain from film after all, except that I had to pay each time I wanted to see my pictures. I think I spent more money on film development than on my EOS 30 + lens...). There are some things I wouldn't have done like this in the interface but it's really good. I think I'll see some limit when I'll want to do sport photos... but for now it really is great!
