Description The opera building in Oslo, Norway.

I'm finally starting to feel that the spring is coming, people trekking to the opera roof is a sure sign of that (even though the roof isn't officially open for the season yet, probably wont be before all the ice is completely melted. Not that the chain stops anybody from walking there though )

Post-processing
Lightened a tiny bit, and adjusted the wb in camera raw.
Turned up the contrast with a curves layer and a black and white layer set to soft light (100%), darkened with a black and white layer set to multiply (60%). Adjusted the colours a bit with the different colour channels in curves.
Removed some noise and sharpened.

I see you weren't alone with your camera there. When photographers meet, there must be a clash! Kick over his/her tripod!

On a lighter note, sweet ass reflection shot

He seemed so utterly serious that I just had to leave him alone, even though I think I stood in his way a few times

I just love how the building reflects, I definitely have to take more pictures there.

Takk
Det var helt fullstendig skyfritt ja (bortsett fra en tynn liten stripe som man så vidt kan se og som for alt jeg vet kan ha vært etter et fly)

I'm pretty happy about how it turned out as well
And that tripod belonged to some other guy taking pictures, the opera attracts loads of photographers, actually it attracts everyone cause it's such and amazing building, you can walk on the roof, it's a perfect place to "camp" in the sun, and the roof has even been used for concerts (I think it has, if it hasn't been already there are at least plans of some concerts in the future )
