First DC trip.

[mrredline05]

Well i took a trip to DC this past weekend. Took some decent pictures i think. For the most part the weather wasnt the greatest, but i think they turned out decent. No need for C&C just wanted to post them. Comments are welcome if you want too.

i like 4, because it is different.
5, I cant decide if the water should be more in focus and the structures in the background should be less... or ( most likely ) more bokeh to the forground, and a cleaner background..?
7, is awesome!
8, Im LOVING the lights glistening like stars .... very nice~!
..10, I would have added a tiny bit more sky above it.. ( if it were possible.)
the tip of the structure is cut off a little.. kinda of bugs me.

Thats just my opinion. NICE SHOTS though GJ!:thumbup:

#4 my favorite of the series, although you could pull some of the blue out of there.

Number 4 is very nice.

 

[mrredline05]

thanks for the comments. Like i said, i just wish the weather was better.

4, 7 & 8 work for me.

4. I like the softness, the texture, the sky and the composition

7. I am patriotic....like the angle and location of the flag in the shot

8. Even though it may be out of focus, the dark night the building and the capture of the lights works for me

The rest of the shots do not do much for me.

Nice job though on 4, 7 & 8

Is #9 the "Hope Diamond"?

 

[mrredline05]

Yes it is.

#9 Weird that they took the diamond out of the setting, they still had it in the necklace in July.

I love number 4, looks really post apocalyptic.

4 and 10 appear to have some haloing. Maybe too much use of the definition slider if you were using lightroom...

3 seems oversaturated.

I like the first one best. I just wish the plaque was more in focus.

 

[mrredline05]

I get what your saying about 3 and 4, but # 10 is not photoshopped at all. It just happen to be nice blue sky and a little help from the CPL filter.

 

[poof]

Ok then. This is where I hopefully get to expand my knowledge.

There is definitely a light halo around the upper part of the dome and the statue.

What else could cause this guys?

 

[mrredline05]

Honestly im not really sure. I mean i know it was just uploaded and not edited at all. Unless it was something with the filter.

I had something similar happen awhile back with this pic:

I posted it here a few months ago and while several constructive comments helped minimize the problem, we never got to the bottom of what causes this.
It was shot with no filters...
