Lovely! Did you process it with HDR software?

I see the street has a bit of barrel curvature. Is it possible to straighten it with Photoshop, or does that distort the building? I've been experimenting with this in Photoshop Elements, and it isn't easy!

Yes with the HDR! I'm really liking the HDR process with these old buildings.

About that curvature. I concentrated in getting th columns straight, but yes - the building is slightly on a tilt. There's two reasons for this - 1. 18mm focal length, and 2. I took it at an angle.

Whilst I can get a vertical or horizontal line straight, I am not good enough yet myself in photoshop to do both. There's something called transformation but I haven't been able to master it as yet.

ThAt's my next project (once I have gone through my 3040 images left to do LOL)

Cheers
Robyn

This looks fabulous. The people really bring out the size of the building.
