The London Eye Looking Up


I was just playing around in Lightroom today and found this old image of The London Eye that was a very different type shot. Decided to process it first using NAPP‘s Lightroom preset Summer Day. It created a very yellow image, totally different from what I ended up with, but I thought I would try it. Once opened in Photoshop, Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Detail 3, my “go-to” filter where I actually tried the “I Feel Lucky” button. The image above is basically what I ended up with. (These are the settings if you are interested: Detail: Overall details set to Small Details  -.094 Small Details Boost  0.84, Medium Details  0.87, Medium Details Boost  0.53, Large Details  -0.92, and Large Details Boost  0.95; Tone: Exposure  0.81, Contrast  -0.53, Highlights  0.70, Shadows  0.81, Whites  -0.81, Blacks  0.82, Cyan-Red  0.63, Magenta-Green  0.51, Yellow-Blue  -.86, and Add Grain  0; Color: Temperature  -0.70, Tint  0.75, Saturation  -0.84, and Saturation Boost  0.57; and Effect Mask: Overall Opacity  0.37.) The last step was to add a Curves Adjustment Layer and putting a little less blue in the Blue Channel. This really looks like how I remember the sky that evening. The London Eye was one of my very favorite things I did on my trip to England……Digital Lady Syd
