Vunnit tävling hos Pentax Forums!
Pentax Forums är sajten för dem som liksom jag använder Pentax. Mycket bra info där. Och tävlingar som avgörs av medlemmarna. Jag har fått nomineringar och kommit till rond 2, men aldrig vunnit. Konkurrensen är hård. Men häromdan kom ett mail:
Congratulations - you won the photo contest in April, "Unusual Perspectives"! Besides the honor you get a $50 gift card to B&H!
Vinnaren förväntas beskriva hur bilden blev till. Här är den texten.
Hi all Pentax fans!
I still own the Pentax S1 that my parents gave me more than sixty years ago. My present main cameras are K-1 and K-3 II. The photo "From Above" was taken with the K-3 II and a silver Pentax SMC FA 77mm f/1,8 Limited lens.
The Industrial Landscape of Norrköping is dominated by textile and paper factories built between 1850 and 1950. Today they house a university, offices, museums, restaurants and the Science Park, an incubator for new enterprises. As an architect-planner I had the privilege to participate in the transformation from a run-down closed-off paper mill to a vibrant city core. .
The terrace on the roof of this building is occasionally open to the public. It was my vantage point when taking the photo.

It was taken on a clear day with prominent shadows from the people passing straight down underneath. I focused the camera on the pavement. Then waited patiently for a long time until the right person passed. Click!
This is the DNG file converted to jpg with no alterations.

The RAW file was rotated 90 degrees clockwise, pre-cropped and adjusted one degree to line up the right part of the paving. After developing I warped the picture ever so slightly to line up the left edge as well. Then it got final crop and the usual treatment - pre-sharpening, curves, re-sizing and sharpening. For Pentax Forums it was re-sized to height 900 pixels and some slight extra sharpening and a small pinch of saturation added.
