Bringing Down the Town

[Vellian]

The city of Binghamton is demolishing a building down town and I got to go to the roof across the street and shoot it. It was a cloudy day that spit rain all day so I did the best I could, heres the three best out of the 135 I took

Its pretty neat, i wish I had a before shot, but I am definitly going to get an after and maybe some others, I've now got nearly complete access to the roof so many more city pics to come

I really like the composition of the first one which captures a great deal of action.
The lighting was not very good and concealed much detail for me so I tried adding a little light. I then took some of the lean out of the frame left buildings and adjusted the color of the sky and buildings. I added a few clouds to cover a blank spot in the upper frame right.
I was trying for a more realsitic view than what finally emerged but these techniques can be applied individually and can be adjusted to taste.
I was doing this more for my own amusement but thought you may be interested in the techniques and resultant image.

That looks cool, I'll have to try a bit more post processing on mine
