Hi Ondoy,

I did not use any filter, in fact there is not need of any filter when taking night shot.

just only increased some saturation and sharpness using software from my Nikon's camera

Thanks for liking.

cheers =D

pics are clear and crisp, nicely done.

Wow.. is so different now... and very nice. I like the processing and very well control on exposure and saturation of the colors. Could be wider though.

For the 1st time in my life, i got praise by my little idol, Manita Goh ...=D

I got motivated by Manita's works to remind me to improve my photography. (If a little girl can do it, i can too =D)

In fact, i learn from Manita's pic and post in CS forum.

Thanks Miss Goh =D

Hi, Athim78,

Please don't say like that.. I am also a newbie trying to improve but I have very little time to shoot now because of long hours in school and school work.
I also learn from other people and try it out.
Your improvement is your own hard work...:thumbsup:

Just bought my Tokina 11-16 F2.8 and try up my new lens, all shot at 11mm wide

Sharpness is unbelievable in the center and a little fall off of sharpness at the side end of the frame but still acceptable and very good sharpness.

Hi,
The sky is not so orange in the night and I have no ideal why it urn out up be orange, perhaps color cast ? Or could be due to long exposure of 1min bah. Either way could be the caused of orange sky ?

I would assume that it's colour from the large number of warm colour-temperature lamps. Kinda surprised that the light managed to reach such a high level though.
Anyway, it looks pretty good! If only the observation deck of MBS wasn't chopped off ;p

Hi ZerocoolAstra,

Sorry for late reply, almost forgot abt this thread, u got a very good point for the observation deck of MBS, the crop of the deck was due to PP of perspective control to make the building straight, and u r right, is better to go with perspective distortion but showing the full view of the deck will make a full picture so i post my original pic without PP.

Hi, is getting very nice.... I really like how you control your exposure and hardly any blown outs. I also notice you are shooting during different lights or different timing and is absolutely good practice. Except for composition, most frame are too tight. When you have buildings left or right, try to crop in such a way that the left frame or right frame have a less dominant or a shorter building next to it. Especially shooting around MBS and CDB area where the composition will be tight.

Thanks Manita,

noticed the issue, especially my 15 and 16 pic , will try to crop and see how it turn out =D

crop my pic 15 ( really messy with distraction of the floating platform and tight composition of the MBS and flyer)

15)

After crop, neat composition with the main focus on the bridge.




Thanks for advice, hopefully can go shooting with u 1 day =)
