stranded | my glass eye

Another archive raid, but that's fine because I've got loads and loads and I could do with clearing out some hard drive space! :)

This is taken in the Southside Shopping Centre car park a few weeks ago. I spent a while playing around with shots that used the shadows pouring in through the slats over the window spaces, and this trolley made a pleasing set of shadows of it's own.

A duplicate layer with Shadow/Highlights adjustments to bring out the detail, and then a couple of curves - one for colour tweaking (mostly just experimentation that ended up giving it a warmer glow) and one to put the contrast back in that the Shadow/Highlights layer took out.

Great use of shadows.

Nice strong lines in this shot. I'm impressed you've found a good use for the grotty Southside shopping centre!

This is the first of the series. Like the floor's texture. Beautiful rendition of colors and light balance. This one comes highly recommended.
