This Way by taffy

This Way

Taken at the Harold Washington Library main lobby. After a few days, I have LR6 up and running successfully and now am about to learn what 6 does that 5 didn't.
BTW, this image is of the railing around a large open area through which you look down to the lower level. I stood above this segment and took the shot, and then in processing flipped the image as I thought it looked more balanced. So this is basically just one segment of a railing around the open space.
Wonderful image!!

My eyes are going funny trying to turn the image back the other way after your description! it looks great like this though.

Cool- makes me think

I'm so glad you said it was railings as I just couldn't figure out what I was seeing :)

I will be interested in your views as if the upgrade is worth doing.
April 23rd, 2016  
Fav!

Interesting pov indeed! LR6 panorama merge is quite good & I like being able to erase part of a gradient.
April 23rd, 2016  
Beautiful. What do you look down on through the opening?

Fascinating abstract... like the arrows are pointing the way for the viewer.

Great pov, Taffy. BTW, I think you'll like LR6, lots of improvements. Pano merge is good, the HDR is great as it doesn't do anything glitzy, just gives you the extra dynamic range, which is great if you intend using bracketed shots for b&w for instance. Dehaze works and is now in the adjustment tools. Lots of extra lens profiles added too.

Lovely image, somehow works better this way than the correct way around (yes, I held my laptop upside down)

Cool flip! When I first looked at it and read it was taken at the library I was wondering if you had been in a secret part of the library that I had not, but now I have figured it out. Nicely conceived and taken!
April 23rd, 2016  
Very cool!
April 23rd, 2016  
Looks great.
April 23rd, 2016  
Fascinating shot!
April 23rd, 2016  
Great perspective, light
April 23rd, 2016  
Love this, very intriguing
April 23rd, 2016  
Great image which makes you try to work out what you are looking at! Very clever! Fav!

If I remember merge is better and a few things like that. Glad you are up and running.
April 24th, 2016  
Very cool shot. Have fun playing with your upgrade.
April 24th, 2016  
What a great image, it makes an excellent abstract. Glad you said it was railings. Super processing.
April 24th, 2016  
Impressive capture of that interesting metalwork.
April 24th, 2016  
Love it.. Looking forward to your assessment of LR6.
April 24th, 2016  
Interesting shot! Without the explanation, I wouldn't have know what it was.
April 24th, 2016  
It took me a while to understand the perspective of this - it's really great.
April 24th, 2016  
Nicely done! Good luck with LR6.
April 24th, 2016  
The "dehaze" is very nice, but it tends to over-blue things, so you might have to end up going to the HSL panel and lowering the Blue (and perhaps Aqua) saturation. Glad you got the library sorted out.

@frankhymus I'm relieved that it's so similar to LR5, with the additional tools a few have pointed out. And totally relieved that my catalogue was preserved, as far as I can tell, in full. I was fiddling with dehaze for fun and know what you mean re noticing the blue tones.

@pasttheirprime @snaggy
Thanks for the pointers -- I had some time today to check out some of the features and think LR6 looks pretty good.
April 24th, 2016  
Great shot!
April 24th, 2016  
Wow this looks amazing!!
April 24th, 2016  
Graphic!
April 24th, 2016  
I really had to look to figure this one out. Very clever pov.
April 24th, 2016  
Love the contrasts and the great pov!
April 24th, 2016  
Super cool B&W! Love your composition.
April 25th, 2016  
Wildly disorienting and enticing
April 25th, 2016  
Awesome picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.
April 25th, 2016  
Interesting treatment- really gets your eyes going!
April 26th, 2016  
This is such a cool abstract image, beautifully taken! Love your positioning :)
