El Salvador Tower

[Tigger]

Had a lucky break with this shot.. At 11mm I wasn't able to hold onto the verticals as the square wasn't very large, but noticed a balcony on a building directly opposite so approached the doorman and asked if I could use it - the guy very kindly took me upstairs opened the door and let me get the shot.. :)

Re: El Salvador Tower

the colours of the Spanish buildings always make for a good shot plus of course the blue sky. The only downside is the parked cars of course

if the shot had been really special I would have seen if I could loose them

Re: El Salvador Tower

Ian, love the shot and great to find someone so obliging.

Have you changed your processing? Reason I ask is think I can see lighter area on skyline and round the tower, bit like previous post.

Re: El Salvador Tower

Cheers Ant and I was very surprised when the guard said yes, even though my only way of communicating was to point at the camera and the balcony and smile

Yes I see what you mean, the odd thing when I look in LR & Iphoto I'm not seeing it - maybe its an upload issue, but what do you then do process for upload or your own viewing LOL ...

Lovely image! Did you do any perspective correction in post or is that what the lens delivered?

Nice shot Tigger, worth going the extra steps for.

The tower itself looks like someone stuck pretty stones and shells around a chunk of bricks and sand one afternoon when bored........!

I was able to get it pretty correct just from the camera so only a little - glad you liked the image

Sounds like an upload issue then. Can just ignore in the future.
