[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A last one from my Louvre nightshots.

This is part of Pei's pyramid and the Pavillion Sully in the Louvre courtyard (do take a look "on the spot" through the Map: [view] link).

Tech talk

Straightened and corrected a little perspective correction.

Cloned out some spotlights as they were too distracting.

Levels, curves in adjustment layers.

Downsized for TL in a couple of steps, and applied a simple frame - using a couple of recorded PS actions.

Very well captured.

i'm glad you didn't clone out all of the spotlights, they make this picture kind of funny. TFS

Hello Frank

I have visual night Beautiful!
I like lights with their lukewarm colors decorating the silhouettes of the buildings.
Beautiful the look and of very good taste!
Congratulations

Hi frank:
A well balanced light and good exposures to catch the glow at 8*th of a second shutter speed. I have the same lens and they seem to work really good:)
I also like your composition that show those lights in a row as it is.
Although the top right is a bit empty, but there is nothing that anyone could do about it.
excellent work!

Hi Frank !
i find this interesting. The exposure is handled quite well and i like the way the building's facade has been lit with the 'warm' lighting

Well done. Best regards,
Daniel.

Hi Frank

Frank, technisch spreekt deze foto me wel aan !
Qua sfeer, dat is voor rekening van de " zonnetjes " van de straatlantaarns.
Maar, ik blijf bij m'n eerder keuze uit deze serie.

Nu ja, indien ik er achtereen kom, zal ik dat ook eens
proberen.
'k Zal dan wel eerst de manual lezen van m'n
" Nikon E900 " :-(

Stunning light and details in this!
I love the composition with the pyramid detail in the foreground

P.S. Why do you downsize for TL in " a couple of steps?" I have always simply used the crop tool set for 100 ppi and either 800 or 750 pixels width (or height) What am I doing wrong?
