Sunset

Posted by drphoto (Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom) on 27 February 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

To see this month out I'm going to upload some cityscapes/architectural shots. I spend most of my time in cities so I have many, many pictures of them. I struggle most with city shots though. I come home with hundreds of pictures but only 2 or three decent shots! Here are some of them.

This one is in Leeds again. It is perhaps a little over processed but it was hastily edited in iorder to get it up today.

I welcome all constructive comments, compliments and criticisms.
I am here to learn. the fastest way for me to learn is for you to be really unforgiving and articulate in your criticism =D)

If you don't have time to comment don't forget to give a star rating as you pass through!

@pLusOne: Thanks, that means a lot coming from you.

well, I like it. The dynamic range of tones is amzing. Considering the bright sunlight there is a great deal of shadow detail in the building on the left. There is a slightly odd feel to image (in a good and visually interesting way) probaly due to the shadow detail and bright highlights.

@Rhys: Thanks, I was using A Fuji S£ at the time - they have exceptional dynamic range (but lack sharpness so I've switched to Sigma DSLR's instead; the ultimate in sharp) - but I can't deny that some clever editing went into making this. I was thinking I might try it in HDR at some point.

Cool Picture, very impressive Colours and a very well done Dynamic. Great Job.

I must be weird, but I think It's perfect, the overexposure works like a charm for this one ;) A Fairy tale view!

Great shot...The church(I'm assuming that's what it is) and the ligth spot on the green grass really go well together.

It's Thursday and somehow this got past me yesterday. But I have to say how perfect the colors and lighting are, how eye-catching the textures and shape of the stone is, how amazing the use of angles. There is something of the eternal which your photo somehow evokes. Bravo!

@Viewfinder: Thanks! Your compliment has even made me see the image differently =D)
