Here's an image I took on a cold night five days before Christmas but only just got around to processing.
I recently learned some Photoshop techniques to address perspective problems that allowed me to fix this image and turn it into something special. Shot with my Nikon 18-200mm VR lens at a focal length of 20mm and looking up at the sky, I ended up with all the building tops converging in the center due to the upward tilt of the lens.
However, using the lens correction filter in Photoshop CS3, I was able to change the perspective to straighten the buildings out and render them as they really appeared. Then, a little processing fun with color and texture and I was done. Hope you enjoy it!
