Eh.. I like them. Especially the first. It might look better as a square crop though, with all that empty bridge on the left gone.
very colorful and sharp! i agree with the crop comment. but on the other hand, the current crop gives you a real feeling of the length of the bridge
if i cropped the bridge the water reflection would be gone, but i think it might look better ill give it a try. i cropped the neon sign because a car was in the shot, plus there was dead space above too. i honestly dont think these shots are that sharp, i think the coolest part is the christmas colored lights on the bridge, i cant wait for 4th of july when they make them red white and blue. thanks for the comments i think if the shot was in the dead center and panoramic it would look cool, but it would be hard to get in the dead center
on second thought, I think I like the original more. the bridge looks more impressive in the first one. anyway..both are awesome.
I agree that the sheer size of the bridge in the uncropped version of number 1 is what makes the shot..
wow i feel good about myself. thanks for the comments. the moon looks full in the picture but it was only a half moon, it was weird it wasnt cut verically, it was cut horizontally straight across, too bad u cant see it. i also learned that this lens isnt the sharpest at 12mm btw this is the ben franklin bridge in philadelphia that leads into camden nj
nikon, i know they are pretty much the same thing, i just thought i should get the better one, i know ill keep it forever so why not go all out?
