Vertical Series #1

Posted by Nicole (Komono, Japan) on 3 July 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

I felt like cropping some of my images vertically today, so I'm going to post them as a little series.

This first one is also part of the manhole series from earlier - this is the
Komono manhole cover.

It actually took a lot of work to get this image to where it is. The mahole cover itself was in the shade, but I liked the placement of the image looking this way towards a typical tiny street of Komono. In order to get the manhole cover to be bright enought for the image, I had to saturate and lighten the blue tones in the manhole cover, then desaturate etc all the other green, and yellow tones. Have I emtioned lately that I <3 lightroom?

Thanks for stopping by! I absolutely <3 comments so if you have a moment let me know what you think!

Thanks,
Nicole in Japan
