Photo taken from the fantastic view of the mighty Bosphorus from Cengelkoy, Istanbul, Turkey...

What you see, is the Bosphorus Bridge, in Istanbul not The Golden Gate :)

Technical Details:

Taken with a Canon EOS 350D

using the kit lens (18-55mm) with no additional filters.

taken on 18mm,

f number was used as 16 to catch the bridge (background) sharper... Low light conditions forced me to have a long exposure in order to suck enough light inside... (which satisfied my intention to tell about a "period of time" instead of an "instant in time"...)

The ISO Level was kept at 100, a higher ISO (400, probably) could be used in order to create a cleaner color gradient in the sky and on the sea, via eliminating the ISO grain but that was not what I wanted. I wanted to keep that grain in order to create a more dramatic "veil" onto the photo, creating a texture of "romantic loneliness"

No tripod was used, only an empty table... (I wish I had one, though..)

No kind of digital motion blur, smudge etc. was added.

The skeletal sculpture of the photo has not been modified other than crop from the left-hand side.

It is a long exposure photo (exif: 10sec), which means that the objects in motion (the sea, clouds, boats etc.) are blurred, while the one which are still; are sharp.

Modifications and layers made in PS CS2:

onto the background, respectively:

1. Photo Filter: R:172 G:122 B:51 49%, blended onto the background using Reverse Linear "Steel Bar" gradient overlay, 79% Overlay, 90% angle with 130% scale.

2. Hue/Sat: +4 Hue, -75 Desat, onto the Master Colors.

3. Channel Mixer:

Red: 104% Red +8% Green -32% Blue +18% Constant
Green: -6% Red +102% Green -12% Blue +8% Constant
Blue: +10% Red -12% Green +56% Blue +18% Constant

4. Selective Color:

Neutrals: +12% Cyan +4% Magenta 0 Yellow +26% Black (Relative)

:)

That's all...
