Ladder Sculpture - Part 2 Downtown Greensboro, NC - Endownment of the Arts 2015

Finally caught up to the date. 
I used the same reduced size image from the original posted yesterday to experiment a little with black and white.and then invert the image with a filter to give an infrared look on the right image. The post editing was done in PSE 11. The B& W image I maxed the shadows, highlights, midtones and then increased the darkness & contrast to get the effect I wanted. The clouds give a textured background to the image. Plan to take more images of this sculpture at different times of the day.  May not have any clouds next time. These images were taken about  5:45 p.m. EDST with native iPhone 5C.  

Ladder Sculpture Downtown Greensboro, NC - Endownment of the Arts 2015

 These images should have been posted Sun., Sept. 13th.  This is part of a sculpture for Endowment of the Arts that was done in conjunction with the 2015 Folk Festival in Greensboro, NC.  The scculpture itself contains over 500 ladders donated by 300 people.     Since there were a lot of people looking at the sculpture at ground level I decided to shoot for a design in the sky with the intention that I would play with filters and see what altered art or patterns I could use with these images.   The original image on the left is unedited.  It is a downsized file for the web so you will see some pixelization which can happen with lines. It was shot in HDR native 5C iPhone.  The right image was maximizing shadows, highlights, midtones  in PSE 11, and then applied the Saturatured Film effect x 4. Sharpening would have pixelated this image further.  I do plan to work with the original iPhone image before reduciing the file size for the web.  Plan to try more filters in various photo apps.  Tomorrow for the next images I post you will see B & W and and the negative (invert) of the same which reminds me of infrared.
