| JFotography | Facebook | Tutorials | Stocks | Actions/Scripts |A pagoda in the Da Yan Ta park in Xi'an.
Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 18-55mm Nikkor + PL filter. HDRi. A lot of noise reduction; forgot to change the ISO speed from 1600 back to something more suited for outdoor photography >.< . Tone editing to brighten the photo. Color balancing to bring out green hues. Minor vignetting added in post editing. Minor saturation.
Additional Comments
The Big Goose Pagoda doesn't look as nice as this little one
Took the photo from this angle to try to use the leaves to block out the people who were sitting in the pagoda
