Hi guys!
I would like to have your inputs on these shots, which are my first attempt at night photography. Technically, they lack a lots of thing in my opinion. I was not able to get that same "wow" feeling on the camera that I was having with my eyes. (Hard to follow, sorry) Some key things I did while shooting theses:
-Had a tripod, but was really windy
-Original image were darker, because I wanted to reduce the shutter speed. Reason is the ferry wheel was continuously moving.
-PP with LR5 (Still learning)
-Shot with Sony SLT-A37 with Sony F3.5-5.6 18-55mm
Things I don't like about the pictures:
-Sharpness is really bad in my opinion. Aside the fact that is was windy, picture were too dark or my editing is bad, I don't know how to explain it.
-Building definition in the sky. Was it too late? Do I have to live with it? How can I make the building "stand out"?
-That moving ferry wheel. Without PS5, is there a way I could put a sharp ferry wheel on a long exposure shot? This is what I would like to do to try the improve the overall sharpness /lightning of the picture and have a stopped, colorful ferry wheel like the last pictures.
1.
ISO400 - 20mm - F22 - 2sec
Contrast +15, Highlights -5, Shadow +5, Black -3
2.
ISO400 - 20mm - F22 - 2sec
Exposition +1.45, Contrast +65, Highlights -30, Shadow -14, Clarity +20, Vibrance & Saturation +10
3.
ISO400 - 18mm - F11 - 0.5sec
Exposition +1.00, Contrast +80, Hightlights -35, Clarity +30, Vibrance & Saturation +10
Graduated Filter from left to right (Expo +0.5, Contrast +20) to light the tall building better
My fav shot is the 3rd one but there is still stuff bugging me in the picture. Thanks for the feedback/help/comments. I will surely try to apply them on my next try there!
See ya!
