Newbie Victorian san francisco house

Well gang lets see what can be done with my closely cropped house. I took it last month. It's right at the top of 25th street where it crosses Dolores Street for those of you familiar with S.F.

I can't see anything but the photograph myself. so need some inspiration for you all.

Nice pic to play with Gunner. Flipped it, added some extra windows and screwed around with the 30 day free trial Topaz Adjust program.

Hey Palms that was done with Topaz Adjust. Just started playing with the free trial program but it looks like you can achieve the same effects as Lucis. I like it.

Re: Victorian san francisco house

Another reason to save up for a MacIntel isn't it. I was stunned by the examples on their web page,. Went there after seeing what Jo did.

You could spend most of your time photographing or painting the great Victorian houses in S.F.

I recognize here the anisotropic diffuse filter. It is an excellent filter which I like a lot but unfortunately it is not configurable and there is something like a bug in it which can actually been seen on your nice picture.

Re: Victorian san francisco house

Craig, I would call it Milk Glass.. and the most recent I think is reminiscent of the "Munster" house
