blatnik bridge under or over repairs

Photography and Computer.
photo black and white looking from eye level at huge tubes tarps(directly under roadway) and trash bins - scanned into computer and then worked on - added tubes made tubes sqiggle hoizontal tubes coloed sky orange created unevenness in roadbed and added in elements made some areas light while at the same time creating a surrealistic look of the shot making the bridge come alive robotic yet looking like a giant ant the orange sky in the background causes me to believe either it is almost dusk or the end of life is upon us is this giant robotic ant going to carry us off to it's nest where we are to be food for it's bretheren

This one is with the glass on. I removed it but my lights glared off of the shiny paper and made them worse than this. Going to have to work on the lighting technique.

Those first ones that we took with only natural light look sweet by comparison don't they? We should try to figure out a lighting situation like that.

Look at the center of this, you can clearly see my hand holding the camera, reflected.

You could try using your shop halogens and not aim them directly at the picture-maybe up towards the ceiling. Those might provide enough light and limit reflections from the paper.

Hey - Sean-O good idea! I had actually read that before but forgotten it till you said. I'll do it! Next weekend.
