Water Tower by TheBasedSloth, on Flickr

Ehh, Thinking about going back for a reshoot in the morning to get more dramatic lighting.
It's right across the street from my neighborhood so I have access to this all I want..

Is it right next to an airport?

 

[thebasedsloth]

Nope, There's a fire station to the right of it (assuming you're looking at it from this angle)
and a giant Aquatic Center, Indoor pool place to the left.

Why do you ask?

I'm sure TPF is referring to the paint scheme. Where I come from the water towers are only painted that way for aircraft recognition.

Yeah - usually tall structures are only painted in that scheme so planes don't hit them.

Well there's one a couple, Maybe 10, miles away? So yeah it's relatively close to a airport I guess, Haha. I never knew that's why it was painted that way though, Thats interesting...

I feel you can brighten up the image to remove that gloom
When i did that the result was better

If there is a fire house next door then it's probably for the medivac.

Like this? I bumped the blacks up a bit

I am kinda into the gloom, but I could see how the exposure needed to be bumped up.

It's not the shadows that need to go up, it's really the whole thing. It looks to be about 2/3rd's of a stop under/
