My Favorite Photograph

Below is my favorite edited photograph from my "Urban Landscape" set, on Flickr. I took this photograph in Paris, France, about a few years ago, in the summertime. This is a photograph of the hotel that I stayed with my mom and sister. I took multiple photographs of the building from the crowded streets; it was difficult to capture a good angle but this is the best one! Because the photograph was taken at night, a lot of the details in the building were hidden in the shadows- I was able to correct this using photo-editing software in which I increased the highlights, contrast and exposure of the photograph. This really helped to emphasize the overall light in the photograph. Also, I realized that my camera unfortunately has a lot of interpolation because it is supposed to be a 9 megapixel camera, and even when it is set to photograph at its highest resolution, the picture still appears somewhat 'fuzzy' or undefined. I learned that a 9 megapixel camera should normally cost  ALOT more than what I paid, so I realized that Kodak used interpolation to increase the resolution on my camera, at a low cost. As previously mentioned, I didn't have to do much to this photograph because the overall quality of it was naturally good. My favorite thing about this picture is how little editing was needed for it; the natural lighting in the photograph did all of the work for me!
