I took my camera to work and went up to the 11th floor and took some shots.

I have realised that these are way to dark. I bumped the exposure on the 2nd image for a comparison. Looks better to me. What do you think folks?

Yes, that's noticeably better and they're very nice shots. I can't wait to try my new landscape lens, it's arriving on Thursday.

Thanks for looking. Sometimes you need to step away and come back to an image to assess it properly. What lens are you waiting for?

Yes, big difference, and well done.

Agreed, a number of times after hours of blue light blasting my eyes I've walked back into the room with re adjusted eyes just minutes after editing and was a little shocked to see what I'd done.
The lens I ordered is the Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM. Since I'm not going to go pro I figure it should do the job quite well for years to come. I went ahead and ordered a 9 stop variable ND filter for it also.

Nicely done! I too like the "bumped exposure" better.

Definitely agree, the brighter one is really nice

Some great reviews about this lens. I look foward to sone spectacular landscapes.

Thanks. I am way happier with the look of the exposure adjusted image.
