i love this picture the dull-ness and industrial feel is nice. Also, the sky looks really cool, kinda like infrared photography, which i like a lot. It gives the picture a lot of feeling.

Just because you said please.
Original
Now keep in mind that this specific photo that I am sending you is an exposure of 0.
I captured 5 exposures - each one for different uses.
-2 for the dark clouds
-1 for the clouds
0 for the structure & clouds
+1 to add light to the structure
+2 to brighten the structure
I merge them all together and I get something like what you see.

I appreciate your interest.

Thanks man,
I was wondering how you did it,
Its actually really cool,
it can see what it was, and the hulking monolith it is now.
One thing that I think detracts from the overall effect is the bright edges of the clouds and roof on the right.
How would just a -1 exposure and the darkening more in photoshop look?
(for the clouds)

Nothing else that I can find to pick on!

Sorry for such a late reply, I was in Queensland and didn't have access to the net...
And my dads SLR doesn't have a charger...

I will have to try some of this for myself!

Your filter and shanges are absolutly amazing,
i think it looks kinda like an etch or something like that,
would you mind sharing the original photo?
Please?
