Lower Pierce -Sunset

K5; Sigma 10-20; Tianya ND.​

I've always been tied up with family duties after work, so even though this place is rather near where I work, I've never found time to go.
So its quite a torture every time I see the potential of a nice sunset over Lower Pierce, but knowing I'd never be able to get there.
This time, I decided not to live in regret and I made my way there.
Could not ask for a better sunset, though I missed the blue hour to rush home
(reach home.... have to repent :kok: :sw

Just min before the sun set behind the big patch of cloud , it shine onto the muddy sea bed and turn the dull black mud to golden colour . It look gorgeous at that instant . The duration might be short , but at least he too got his glory moment.

Sunset was fantastic yesterday . 5 Image DRI (with some multi expose) manual blending to balance the sky and building + to create the busy cross junction feel . I always like to call the building "colourful windows" with my friends. Hence shall name it as -

nice idea Simon! However, i think you pushed the processing too hard here. Besides the visible haloing ard Central & the large cloud behind it, there are some minor visual anomalies that somehow make the image not work for me eg. the different degrees of smoothing of the water in the bottom left corner & the part after the bridge. Or maybe I'm just not a HDR kind of guy...

Unfortunately it is something I've been struggling with too... how to make buildings backlit by a beautiful sunset not look dull & lifeless. Marina bay makes it easy as all the buildings are well lit to balance the light.. but other places more difficult. Maybe the landscape gurus can come in to help us out here.

Gorgeous and well done! :thumbsup:
Nice sunset


Just a few thoughts...
Perhaps you can do away with the HDR aspects of the image since its already a DRI?
I believe that's whats giving the over saturated yellows and reds.
Of course likely its easier said than done and may end up removing too much 'punch' from the image.

Wow! seems like nowadays, everyone stepping up to either 'black card' technique (saw that at Lwr Pierce the other day) or DRI.

Hi bro stuck , long time no see. Thanks for pointing out the halo . Really miss it . Perhaps it's at the the corner and I din notice it. As for the different degree of the water , it's actually the real scene . I only use a slightly underexpose shots to blend in the sky . Nothing was touch on the water . The rest of the image was more concentrate on the moving car . Thanks for the comment , unfortunately it does not work for u .

Gorgeous and well done! :thumbsup:
