a bit of leveling in photoshop helps

maestrocloud said:ooh, thanks editor & BL - you're right, it looks far better in portrait.
BL did you just lighten the whole thing? i like how now more of the detail of the buildings/bridges etc is visible.
i'll try take some more while i'm in this beautiful place
I duped the blue plate and levelled it to isolate the darker areas - it was a bodge - so the edges of the sky got caught. I just had a quick go with the Adjustments - Shadow/Highlight - and it did a better job (you need CS though)

You can tweak a tad by ...work on largest file available before resizing for display...and a combination of Levels and using the Eyedropper in Curves/right click to isolatepoint/adjust Curve accordingly...then sharpen after Resizeing and Save As at a size/compression which'll not lose too many details(shadows/highlights)...in pre_CS that is... not that anyone'll understand me!

should've said right_click either side of point supplied by point created by eyedropper...innit?...LOL yeah Big Up Curves.. I did see some plug_in/Addon software that Maxed Curves etc size wise...don't remember where but it was Uber priced..to a greater extent methunx NeatImage will give chuffing results(from what i've seen) but tbh I've not got round to trying it out.

I really like this. In landscape format without having the soul zapped out of it by PS. For me, the original is far more moody and atmospheric in it's original exposure. Much more Parisian.
Why do people insist on sticking every bleedin' photo through PS autolevels? More often than not it steralises the original. Strips it of any bollocks and turns it into 'just another stock library shot'.
Going slightly off topic; there is something very special about cities at dusk. Or, even cities between dusk and dawn. On my last drive from southern Spain to London I was on a very tight budget. Finding myself in Orlean at 10PM a quick look at the map convinced me the most straight forward route to Calais was along the old roads directly through Paris. Inevitably, without the sun to guide me I got lost in the city.
Being the kind of person who would sooner enjoy getting lost rather than getting stressed finding the ringroad I decided to park up and enjoy the lostness in a strange city in the early hours.
Whilst the neon and human buzz energises and empowers you get a sense of vulnerability. A certain awarness that you are the person on this earth that can make your life what you want it to be.
Sadly I had left my cameras in Spain. Shall return and photograph Paris between dusk and dawn one day soon though.
Nice photo. Took me somewhere I'm not right now anyway!
