Photo walk around Melbourne this week. Took quite a few photos from along the Yarra River area. This was one of my favourites.
Taken with my Tokina 12-24mm f/4 lens at 12mm. So a nice wide angle shot. I’m not 100% happy with the angle of the wheel, looks a little lopsided, but this is mainly due to the very wide angle lens and the subject being off center.
Processing wise, a little done to it, but not a whole lot. Basic white-balance, levels, noise reduction & sharpening. From there, I’ve pushed the clarity and contrast up quite a bit along with the vibrance and a touch of saturation. A minor vignette was added, but in the end, it probably doesn’t enhance the photo as much as I was expecting. A bit of clean-up along the left was done to remove the edge of a tree that was showing.
Later in the week I’ll probably upload a few of the other photos I took from my walk.
Next week will probably be stuff from around the other side of the city as I’m going on Scott Kelby’s World Wide Photo Walk. Which I’m looking forward too (just hope it’s not raining for the walk).
