Leadenhall Market Roof City of London
This is a shot of the Leadenhall Market Building in the City of London taken on a London day trip in June. The site was used for market trading from Roman times though the first building for a Market was built in the early 14th century. The present magnificent wrought iron and glass structure was designed in 1881 by Sir Horace Jones, architect and surveyor for the City of London Corporation. Jones’ other work included Tower Bridge. The Market was included in the film Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens at 10mm. 3 raw images were taken at 2EV spacing. Opened in Photoshop first and each image noise reduced with Noiseware Pro and saved as tiffs. Photomatix Outputted in Photomatix to Detail Enhancer. Photoshop The -2 EV image was copied in as a new layer and was then excluded with a black layer mask and a brush used to bring in more detail in the highlight areas. Detail was brought back in with Topaz adjust with vibrant presets group with Clarity preset with adjustments. Some areas were excluded from the effect by applying Topaz on a duplicate layer with a layer mask. The image was enhanced with curves to brighten. The effect was excluded from the highlights with a layer mask. Hue Saturation reds were used to bring down the pinks in the walls a little. Layers flattened before going on to sharpening. Second duplicate layer with mask to apply extra sharpening and contrast with low amount and high radius using Unsharp mask (Clarity Effect) The settings were 46 amount and 46 radius. This effect was excluded from the highlights with a brush on a layer mask The ruler tool was used to straighten and crop. BEFORE AND AFTER Below are the Before and After images.
