Saturday night. Or perhaps George Smiley.

I like this a lot, the framing is spot on with the shadow on one side and the cable at the bottom. The only thing I would say Steve is that (IMO) it needs so horizontal lens correction so that the grid of the tiles is parallel to the top and bottom of the frame.

I'm with Paul again Steve. I like this also and the B&W treatment works well. Just the right sense of griminess to go with the sign.

How do you do horizontal lens correction. Is it in Lightroom? I think Hamish told me how to one time but I forgot. I'm not very good with computers. THANKS!!!!!!!!

 

[Paul Lange]

Yes, it is in Lightroom. You will see the Lens Correction tab on the right hand side when you are in Develop. Click on the word "Manual", Check the little box that says constrain crop when you make the adjustments. Horizontal adjustment is used to make any horizontal lines in the image run parallel to the top and bottom. Vertical is used for vertical lines. I find it pretty useful as sometimes no matter how well I line up the camera using a level lines still are out. It seems that the world is a wonky place!

Nice one, Steve!

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Fantastic - looks like something from the 50s (subject and treatment)

excellent comp., the sign is in the perfect spot and i like how the bottom third is broken up by a grid and the top third isn't. nicely done.
