Vertigo

A dizzying up shot at the National Archives. I promise this will be my final photo of D.C. monuments and buildings!

Thank you all for your generous and kind comments on my recent photos. I appreciate you taking the time to view and share your thoughts!

Have a lovely weekend, all!

@3rdxoff You are so sweet, AC! Very glad you like the photo. It's time for me to face the fact that vacation is over. I think I am experiencing a little let down. Nothing in my world looks very photo worthy after all the beautiful and interesting sights of D.C. {sigh}

Talk about "Wow shots"...

Instant Fav! And I'd tag this one with the weekly composition theme... (of course all of your photos could be tagged with that, but this one's is just so... geometric.)

I love the varying colors and values of all of the different repeated elements, and the spectacular way you've framed it such that the lines make you feel like you're falling up.
May 4th, 2013  
Wonky wonderful-ness. That blue of sky is absolute perfection. Fab job Lisa!

Dizzying, indeed. But a great point of view and great light to capture those lovely lines.
May 5th, 2013  
wow, fabulous pov! Such a great shot Lisa.
May 5th, 2013  
Awesome POV and tones!
May 5th, 2013  
Very dynamic. There is a little bit of an illusion here too, almost like we could be looking down instead of up. I actually do feel a bit of vertigo here. I wonder how it would look if you plugged in the same tone of blue in all three sky openings?
May 5th, 2013  
@rvwalker Thank you, Ross. I always appreciate your insightful comments. I wish I knew how to change the tones of the sky. It would look interesting to see how that would change the image. I have yet to explore the world of editing very much. I know that you use PS Elements. Is this something that is possible with that software or would I have to go to PS for that?
May 5th, 2013  
@darylo Thank you so much for this generous compliment, Daryl. You made my day!
May 5th, 2013  
Great POV. Hope you didn't feel dizzy taking this one, Lisa!
May 5th, 2013  
@pflaume I use PS Elements, Lisa. This will get you started: Using a COPY of the original, select the eyedropper tool and click on the blue sky. Click on the paint bucket tool, place it over the area you want to change, then click. That will place the blue in large patches of that area. Click on a brush tool for more delicate retouching. You can always click Undo to back off errors. To learn more, there is a book available - Photoshop Elements, The Missing Manual. Good luck!
May 5th, 2013  
Amazing!FAV!
May 5th, 2013  
Seriously cool! Fav (and yeah, it is dizzying. lol! )
