Distorted thinking



Nothing to do with the current challenge - still "pre-visualising" on that one (i.e. very little idea of what to do and hoping something will occur soon!)

To fill the time, here is a photo I took while on holiday in Scotland this August. Thought it might be good for stock, but then wondered about the perspective problems caused by the wide angle - so had a play in Photoshop with the distortion correct filter and ended up with the second picture.

Interested in your views - was it a successful exercise? Is it worth going to the bother? Does the uncorrected image look too distorted to you? Does the new version look better?

Some colour for Kevin

I still prefer it b/w, but then again I'm chromatically challenged, so tend to see b/w and contrast better anyway!
Polarizer definitely would have been good to have to help boost the sky, if you look at the mirror shot (post below), you can see how the sky has been improved by the polarizing effect of the mirror.

Cardiff selection

A few of the more "photographic" attempts from Cardiff - although don't think Kev is in any danger of losing the King of the Architectural Abstract crown. (And is the 100th post?). Once Alice has had a chance for first viewing, rest of the weekend should appear somewhere on Facebook soon.
