Curtain Call

Curtain Call

Here we have the London Marriott Hotel West India Quay, a 5 star hotel in Canary Wharf, and one of the first places we arrived during a impromptu photowalk in that area. It’s pretty tough to get a decent and symmetrical shot of this building I found, but a little bit of perspective cropping seemed to have done the trick for the most part.

I like how the curtains are drawn in many of the windows yet others show the blinds and light from within. There was also slight movement in the clouds over the long exposure.

I’ve had several people ask about different areas of my workflow recently, so tomorrow I’m going to post a video which goes through how I work through an image from the initial selection, through Photomatix and using a few filters from Nik and OnOne Software to get to an end product – hope you can come back then and check it out.
