ISTANBUL AT DUSK - Istanbul, Turkey Taken from the top of the 360 restaurant in Taksim. Great view, good food, not-so-great service. Obviously I did some heavy photoshop work on this one to get this effect (experimented with a sort of high-dynamic range process and some painting). I might have gotten a bit carried away and gone too far, but I still kinda like it, and I really enjoyed the process.
BUILDING - Los Angeles, CA, USA Got lucky with this shot. I had a few hours layover in L.A., and came into the city with just enough time to get something to eat and get a few shots. It was already dark when I took this, plus it was raining and I didn't have my tripod, so I ended up shooting wide open at f/1.8. Pretty lucky that I got a reasonably sharp result.
