Amazing works you have here. :thumbsup:

Your photo are very creative with good composition, much to learn from you. Like your concept of

"Single-exposure; not a blended/HDRI/GND-filtered image"


​

do it right in one shot. Just interesting to find out what ND filter you are using for the photo here, is it expenses?

Yeap, it's taken from a private estate! Thank goodness I wasn't chased out, haha!

Haha, thank you! I only include that line (single-exposure; not a blended/HDRI/GND-filtered image) if I use the black-card technique, usually with a Hoya ND400 filter. Nowadays I use Lee filters for most of my shots. More convenient, haha! Pricey though.

It's The Riverwalk. I took the lift up to level 5, the common area. Saw the guard but he didn't stop me; I think he thought I was one of the residents as I was chatting with one yesterday, haha!

Single exposure?

It's a panorama of four shots - but all single exposure shots. I used a Lee 0.9 GND soft for the sky.

is this a blended exposure of shots taken at different times? becos i noticed from other people's shots the sky was black by the time the fireworks came on... did you blend in shots from blue hour? either ways this is a fantastic image! :thumbsup:

how do you use a GND for cityscapes? its something I always struggle with... wouldn't the transition area cut into the buildings?

Thank you! Yes, I blended a blue hour shot in with the fireworks to give the sky more colour.

Yeap, I use a soft GND for cityscapes. You need to be careful with the transition zone though, so you have to rotate it or shift it up and down in order to achieve a natural-looking result. Sometimes I also brighten up the buildings in post if need be!

this is a gorgeous exposure! Not sure whether it is possible but maybe including the road running across the bottom of the frame would make it more balanced? somehow this composition seems a bit bottom heavy with too much empty space on top...

Oops, sorry for the late reply, been a little busy lately. Yeah I would have included the road at the bottom, but it was obscured by trees. I did crop off quite a lot of sky for this though, haha!
