Toy Town #2

Posted by DaveB (Exeter, United Kingdom) on 7 May 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

Another one taken from Edinburgh Castle. This one was a bit trickier as there was a load of trees at the base of the shot, and if I left them in I felt it spoiled the image! Cue lots of patching and cloning to rebuild the fence!

On another note, it's my Dad's birthday today, and as I know guys from Airmotive visit this site, don't forget to remind him how old he's getting!

As always, comments are welcome, particularly those offering feedback and criticism on my images! (It's the only way I'll learn!) :)

Cool work Dave, you did a brilliant job rebuilding that fence, I wouldn't have been any the wiser if you hadn't said.
Happy birthday to your Dad :)

I like using the tilt technique... NICELY done, Dave!! I also think you did a pretty good job of cloning... definitely better than I've been able to manage. Sorry I've been so MIA... I know you understand but needed to tell you anyways. ;-)
