my goodness :bigeyes:
so bright ah?

90 secs for sky, 180secs for buildings.

haa.. okie.. since u offer.. but this week dunoe got time to use not.. :think:
Actually my main intention is to do a side by side comparsion on the same scene, same settings, same framing, same subject and see how warm or how cool the 2 differs from one another. . . . .

You wan then take early, coz Fri I leave for KL already won't be back for a week. I don't really need to shoot LE one, so you can use for 3 weeks.

the pp part to stack them together took me some time to process :sweat:
next time I try bro NNB black card method

A happy ending event

Enclose is my homework, c&c are welcome

Good shot!
My only nitpick is that the under-construction building is a tad overexposed. I think you shot some bracketed exposures, right? Can try stacking them as layers in photoshop/GIMP, and do some layer blending to reduce the brightness of the construction area.

Nice shot Keyson.. But watch ur exposure levels (esp those construction lights on tight, 1 tad overexposed.. a black card might be useful in this kind of situation, if not layer blend to reduce if u had taken any bracketed exposures

Love the blue.. and if only there's aint any wind.. with those still n complete reflections, it will be even better

hahaha you so kind.
Did you get that shot with your tripod in that weird configuration which I suggested?... hehehehe I CLAIM CREDIT if it was! :devil:

Perhaps you fine-tuned the auto WB to be even cooler, hence super blue... hahaha. i know 'fujiwara' would like this type of colour.... but a bit too blue la... not so natural.

 

[Chilicrab1]

the shot i post here was all from that weird configuration... its weird but works
haha ok i write in mine flicker credit to you

i was so pre-occupied at location 1, didnt have the time to go down to location 2 to check hw ur guys are doing. Ends up most of the nice shots come from location 2~!!! Credit to the seniors overseeing those at that locations :thumbsup:

And whats the wierd configuration tat ur guys spoke of, curious to find out more leh.. :

 

[Chilicrab1]

At location 2 there were temporary platforms in the extreme foreground. Using the ultra wide angle, you invited them to your composition.

To avoid them and getting the full reflection, I had to use 2 shortest leg of the tripod sit on the barrier and 1 longest leg rest on the floor. Just need to be careful dun drop your DSLR to the river ;p

Credit to ZerocoolAstra's idea

Bro no one comment means nice mah! :thumbsup: Exposure and all very nice!
Very nice la. But only thing I see is that a little more room above the MBS would be nicer.


Waaaa... ZCA.. we can retire already. :bsmilie: We are running out of newbies...

Repost here for Bro NNB sake,...

 

[Numnumball]

Here's mine.

Pretty nicely done Eugene~!
But if i will to nitpick, i will shift the MBS abit more to the left, its all abt compositional balance, felt the leading lines is not strong enough and the right side is a little tight..

 

[gravism]

Thanks bro DD123 and NNB for your kind comments. Needed the C&C to see where I stand and room for further improvements!
Didn't really consulted any seniors as I am not sure what to ask. Hopefully by the next outing, im ready to 'throw' my question marks.

 

[ZerocoolAstra]

Here's mine.

nice colour...
nice exposure...

composition is also nice! But I agree with bro NNB... stand more to your left and rotate your camera slightly to the right will be more balanced.

And whats the wierd configuration tat ur guys spoke of, curious to find out more leh.. :

hehehe... I noticed that the foreground kept getting into the pic, and I saw Chillicrab1 leaning the tripod against the railing, which was a bit unstable not to mention risky too. Then I noticed that the railing had a concrete base, so configured the tripod legs such that 2 were on the concrete base and 1 was on the floor. Thus could get a few inches closer to the railing, making it easier to exclude the foreground.
