Thanks enzeru21 for dropping by. Ofcouse I don't mind u always commenting my short lo. I very happy ur give me feedback. hehe...

#1 I focus on the bridge and #2 I focus on the building. Both setting at 13s at f/16 & ISO 100. How can i make it better?? I don't really know how to bring out the subject still leaning lor. I will try out for the cropping next time. Thanks!

haha.. okok~!

maybe yup it was a hazy morning so the result as such.. but, don't worry.. you can try again at the next outing...

Thanks bros for the encuragement !

@ Jacobs > In my list now to get the remote But first on my list is still the kenko extension tube for macro ..out of stock everywhere

Wow, you managed to hide the plasticiness of the bridge! Salvaged the area for future shoots! And the sun, red enough! I like this one.

Well attempt YiLin..:thumbsup:

So, already decide to buy new remote switch..:devil:

Was quite disappointed with today lighting that i dumped most of my shos into the archieves except for these two.. :embrass:

NNB - #1

i like this one, nice ​

Plastic ones are cheaper, and will last longer than the wooden ones. And it floats better and seems more stable. And since they are more stable, they can be longer too. From a canoeing standpoint, the plastic ones are way better....

But from a photographers standpoint, they are butt ugly... And being longer, makes it a lot harder to frame. And being white color, it does not contrast with the morning colors well.

There goes my favorite sunrise spot... :cry::cry::cry:

We will never ever be able to get pictures like this again...

this shot is nice, think the new 1 if cut the front abit would be gd? pp it away.

Cut is one thing... hard to get the angle right already...

haha we have to ask our garang D3 to go into water to get angle le. haha

 

[quizesilver]

Can I check with your is it UWA lens got the photo will be more shape then stander lens???

Yes my UWA is quite a lot sharper than my old 18-55 kit lens.

hmm poison in the marking?:devil:

while i can understand why you chose a low angle here, every attention has to be paid to detail here. things like the boat in the distance being shoved into a corner, the ends of the pontoon blending into the bank here - it doesn't matter if the overall exposure of the picture is pretty alright (though i might dial it up half a stop more), these spoiler details will ruin the picture. my suggestion would be to move to the right more, this should resolve the issues with the boat and the pontoon.

same for #2, the rock on the right side is abruptly cut off, and the same problem with pontoon blending with horizon is apparent.

if you look at #3, somehow the lighting and angle seem to have resolved this somewhat, so retrying the composition in #1 without shoving the boat into the side of photo here might have been an option. what is a good composition at a certain timing might not be a good composition at another timing. you have to look at the light, think, think, think before you shoot. it is apparent that the minimum focusing distance for your lens seems to presenting a problem (i assume with your competencies you should have stopped down to at least F/16) in the form of the oof corner of the start of the pontoon there. do you think that moving slightly more to the right again would help?

on another note, presenting your images highly compressed is fine, but to the point where they are present with jpg artefacts can make the image a lot less enjoyable than it could have been.

Bro, the longer platforms makes framing a little trickier.

And seriously, I think they are butt ugly in glaring white plastic.

Hi Uncle Night86mare, thanks for your C&C.

#1, Yes, should not have the boat in the picture and is also moving when doing LE. At the end of the pontoon, is too dark so cannot see a clear line of er..separation or define. I tried using curve but not good. more noise. Yes should move more right for all three actually.

#2, yes same problem at the end of pontoon.

#3, yes i realize is I did not also think so much and forget about details. I think I was shooting F13 or F14.

What is compressed? I dont understand. Is it noise? This time most of my shots are quite noisy I cannot push so much for most of the pictures.

I have to go sleep now. Tomorrow morning go to school. Good night and thank you.
