No weekend chat yet, but I suppose I can provide answers to the Bridge image here.
I started with this image taken in the morning on our way down the river (straight conversion of RAW file):
I thought it might look cool if I split the image down the middle of the right pier and lamp-post, and put a mirror image on the right. I didn't like the top of the light being cut off, so I added some height to the sky and used a copy of the right-most lamp to fix that.
After that I got to thinking that having the same vehicles on each side was a bit boring. So, I grabbed a copy of the image taken that afternoon on our way back up the river, as shown here:
I then modified the earlier mirror image using bits of this new shot.
For the L*A*B version I simply converted a copy to LAB, inverted the A-channel, and added back the result with a mask over half of the image.
I hope this helps.
regards - Pete
