New and Old

Some views from around Emory University Hospital

As is typical of many hospitals, Emory University Hospital, has grown from an initial building to a large campus with structures of many eras.

The main building is interconnected with newer buildings and facilities with overhead enclosed walkways. This includes a pedestrian bridge across Clifton Road.

The bridge is thoroughly modern looking, outside and in.

You can see the walkway structure leading right to the side of the older, stately main building.

And there is a visual surprise. One walks from the 21st century right into the 1920s. Complete with stuffed furniture and chandeliers.

There is also a display of an Olympic torch from the Olympics held in Atlanta in 1996.

Here is a closeup of that display case.

Now we need to pay homage to our slogan here. This blog is about “chats and tips about photography”, so it behooves me to tell a little about these photos. All of them were taken with an iPhone 7. All underwent post-processing. In part due to the format that the iPhone uses for storing photos, “HEIC”. I usually use ON1 Photo RAW to do the conversion and some other post-processing tasks. That also included some perspective corrections.

Just to show how much detail an iPhone photo contains here are a couple of crops from the image above, with some additional processing.

Yes, indeed, these “text” images are crops from the above photo with the white and black sliders in the Photo Gallery histogram in the Adjust exposure panel brought next to each other. There was also use made of other tools.
