overall nice series and nice cam.

#11 and 12 got sharp buildings but the sky got noise or this is due to the post process? 10 and 11 got some diagonal white bands in the middle of the sky.. is it flare or dust? it looks like clouds but 3 parallel diagonal bands in #11 and 2 in #10

the light flares on #17 looks different

Thanks for the comments.
The noise is probably due to post process.
As to #10 & #11 the diagonal white band I've no idea? :dunno:
All these can be easily cloned away. :embrass:

The light flares on #17 & #10 are the same. They are in-camera star-burst filter. :lovegrin:
I can change them to other shape like star, heart, musical note etc. ;p

Thanks bro. I was using the Tamron 17-50 F2.8.

Some nice pictures in here.

Just want to give you some pointers based on the photos I see:

1. need to watch the horizon. In situations where there is no clear horizon to guage you can use this method.

2. You need to fix perspective distortion (your buildings are leaning in to the center of the frame). This article shows you how to do it

Thanks bro for your useful comments.
You are right that those scenes are rather complex for a clear horizon, so I was using my cam's electronic horizon for alginment. The link you provided is really helpful. :thumbsup:
For perspective distortion I usually use CS5 to correct but sometimes I may just leave it as I feel more natural than to correct it. :lovegrin:
Thanks again for the link for perspective distortion. ;p
