Fine Arts building in Chi-Town by Kathy Brand

October 2018 - Fine Arts building in Chi-Town

About the Image(s)

This was taken in downtown Chicago at the Fine Arts Building, an old building that caters to musicians and all things connected to music. It was dark inside and camera set at ISO 8000, 1/60 at f/5.0. I adjusted the exposure in LR and used the Noise Reduction extensively. Then I used Auto settings and straightened and cropped the image. Then I went to Nik and used Color Efex Pro4, Infrared Color #2. This was just an experiment but I liked the way it turned out.
