Default St Mary's lighthouse
Hello folks,

Been button pressing in Topaz to see what I could get from some old shots - struggling to get out and about but really must get back to st mary's when tides are right.

I can't decide wether lighthouse is straight or to one side , as always any comments are welcome

Cheers

Rob

A nice series, Rob - especially #1 and #2.

The reason you are puzzling about whether your pix are straight is that your camera was pointing upwards slightly and hence there is some perspective distortion. Once this has been corrected, it is easy to make everything stand up straight. In this example I have also sharpened it slightly.

Not been out for a good few weeks myself either. Role on spring time. I like the effect that topaz has delivered in number 1.

Kev - thanks for the comment

Martin - I really couldn't decide on these when i first took them - thanks for the explanation. I think I should use me spirit level a bit more.

Whitby tomorrow (fingers crossed) so maybe something new to post

I really like the look of #3, kinda charcoal/drawing look. Good job.

I love this series a lot,especially number 3 Rob!I am just a little bothered by this amount of smoothing in number 1(as compared to number 2):I think number 2 is more realistic.I would like to see number 1 with the number 2 process?Anyway,this is attractive,mainly due to the compo I believe.
