What's Old is New Again

Posted by
Steven (Chicagoland, United States) on 1 February 2013 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Another return to the series that I call "What's old is new again." This was a nighttime capture of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco that I photographed back on April 15, 2008. The original photo that I posted wasn't the greatest as far as detail and I thought that I would try to do some editing to bring out greater detail. What do you think?

Canon PowerShot A630 13/1 second F/2.8 8 mm

it has really gained by the additional editing, although the older version, seen by itself, was beautiful in its own right ...

I think you did a great job! You already had a great composition with this deep blue sky contrasting with the elegant golden silhouette of the bridge, and you just add this little extra sharpness that makes it fantastic!
