This Is London
A shamelessly cliche’d image, perhaps. But I was rather pleased with what I was able to do by cropping a regular photograph into a panorama, increasing levels to convert to silhouette, converting to black’n’white, and then restoring colour to the Union Jack and “returning” the Big Ben face(s) by lightening them in a separate layer. All from a single (rather boring and underexposed) shot!

This is spectacular, I’m loving the shilouettes and the lighted clock on the tower….great!!

The first thought that came into my silly head on viewing this was ….. V for Vendetta. Like it.

Makes me feel like I’m watching a shadow puppet show! Love it.

Thanks for the cropping. A lot of people won’t for stupid reasons and should. Love the omnious smokey, foggy look you gave this. It gave me a sort of end of the world feeling.
Bill Fonseca
Awesome image. Just an idea, thought about putting in a full moon somewhere in the image? Well done.

you’ve done a great job here, it is a pretty common scene but this is definitely a notch above most. i love the near-silhouette. oh and i had the V for Vendetta thought too! :)

YOu know apart from your excellent explication (god I am tired) this is great without it.

I’ve always wanted to visit London, seems like such a wonderful place :)
Dan Shalloe
excellent, and not easy to do this so well. The crispness is really special, as is the blackness of the silhouette, and the use of both grey and white. My compliments on this.

Lovely! Wonderful title to match the scene.
