Moving Day, Serra’s Sequence, Cantor Art Center, Stanford, 2016

This photo was taken at the Cantor Art Center while watching engineers disassemble Richard Serra’s huge steel sculpture Sequence. I was standing on the second floor terrace: Cranes were in action, helicopters were flying, and the welders were at work — what a sight.

This photo will serve as the first header image for this blog. The Echo Theme recommends a header size of 1440 × 600 pixels, so the photo needed to be cropped to that size.

The workflow was as follows:

  1. Open Adobe Lightroom (LR CC, 2015)
  2. Select the header photo, Dscn021.nrw
    (nrw is Nikon’s raw format)
  3. Edit tones in the LR basic panel
  4. Open image in Photoshop CC
  5. Camera Raw workflow: 8000 x 3000 @160 ppi
  6. Save image as CartosOx20150126-DSCN1021.jpg
  7. Crop to 1440 x 600 @ 72 ppi).
  8. Save As jpg (20150126-DSCN1021-HDR1440.jpg)

Both images were uploaded to my blog media folder, and published.

Cheers, Carto
