I thought for this challenge I’d look at some of the older parts of the cities that are, to my mind, far more interesting than the modern glass edifices that are everywhere nowadays. Starting with Edinburgh on a bit of a gloomy day.
I was taking some shots for Weekend Sky & saw an interesting ripple effect in the clouds. I wasn’t sure how well it would show up as it was quite dark still. My wife told me about a new feature on our i-phones where you can adjust the exposure (it’s one of the pull down options when in photo mode), so I thought I’d give it a go. The shot on the left is the phone’s original settings; the one on the right, I’ve increased the exposure. Although subtle, the detail in the clouds is much clearer on the right (these shots are totally unedited).
Exposure difference
I tried it again with another shot, with the same results.
