A Night in the City

Posted by Behrooz Sangani (Tehran, Iran) on 7 April 2007 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

This has been taken a few nights ago, walking with a friend of mine late at night in Tehran streets.
Post processing includes changing the color mode to Duotone (Tritone colors), some cropping, unsharp mask filter and noise reduction.

Anne from White Rock, Canada

I love the lighting and the results of your photoshop editing. It is beautiful work. Still don't like the wide angle tilt on one side - could you try it with the perspective cropping tool and drag that side straight. I like Jerry's slanting building today - but it is a definitely geometric structure with a sharp angle of about 45 degrees. Don't think this kind of tilt goes with this type photo. :-) PS. The orange flower was beautiful too!

@Anne: Thanks Anne. I appreciate your visits and constuctive comments very much.
I didn't quite get the matter about tilt. The photo seems straight to my eyes, but as the creator, I'm naturally error blind. Can you please explain it to me!?

Jen from Jessup, United States

Very nice...I like your pp work! I have so much to learn when it comes to that.

@Jen: pp stands for post processing, but I believe that it's Practice and Precision most of the time. Some great photos come out of simple shots. Just give it time and effort. That's all!
Thanks for regular visits and kind comments Jen.

DTW from Orlando, United States

Very nice work. Looks like a dust storm is coming. I like the lighting on the right side.

Damon????? :)) What a mistake, oh my! Two comments in one send. What was I thinking!?

alla from Toronto, Canada

I like the tilt on the side, this is a dreamy looking image, and that's how it is in a dream.
Very nice work.

7 Apr 2007 3:02pm

@alla: Many thanks alla.
I still can't see the tilt. I'm quite confused.

Daroru from Osaka, Japan

Quite spectacular! Is it a dust storm or your processing effect?

7 Apr 2007 3:24pm

@Daroru: Thanks Daroru. It's not a dust storm. They are very rare here.
What it is, I prefer to remain a mystery as the image! :-)

Alborz from Tehran, Iran

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada

Wow! Behrooz, what you've done here is really stunning. Such a gamut of emotions with this image because of the tones you've used.

7 Apr 2007 10:39pm

@amy: Many thanks Amy for the kind comments.

Dornbrau from Colorado Springs, United States

This shot reminds me of a scene from the movie 'The Fog'. Very eerie, and yet very appealing.

8 Apr 2007 1:21am

@Dornbrau: Cheers Dornbrau!

Stunner from Kingston, Jamaica

Looks eerie! Nice shot and great work with the effects!

8 Apr 2007 4:22am

@Stunner: Yeah I guess eerie is the word. I was looking for it.

Vahid from Bø, Norway

@Vahid: Most likely his ghost! ;))

Ardeshir Tayebi from Tehran, Iran

wow an impressive one! I can't type anything on it...
by the way thanks for your comment and notice, could you do me a favor and give me a hand in photographic methods?

8 Apr 2007 5:57pm

@Ardeshir Tayebi: Thanks Ardeshir.
Glad to be of any help. I'm not much of a photographer anyway. What do you want to know!?
I can suggest www.akkasee.com as a good Persian site with lots of articles about digital photography.
