I don't know if I'd change anything with the crop, but you might be able to fix the slight bit of overexposure up in the upper right area. The edges of some of the things bordering the sky, particularly the roof lines along the bottom and right of the sky-patch look very slightly blown out. I don't know how to fix this, or I'd offer a revision. I haven't sat down and figured out GIMP yet, and I don't own photoshop. Nice shot though, as is...very colorful and a feast of details for the eyes. What city was this taken in? | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Bob Wallace (BobTrips) Msg: #2 July 29th 2006 15:44:13 | Yep, you're right. The sky is blown. I suppose I could blend in some sky from another image but fixing the power/telephone lines would be hard. Wish I had bracketed. I did have the EV set to -0.67 but that wasn't enough to compensate for the very dark and large buildings. (Have no idea why the camera was set on ISO 200. Screw up, I suppose.) The city? Bangkok. Somewhere in the middle of Bangkok's Chinatown. The older buildings are some of the remaining shop houses. The family lived above their business and the business was open to the street. Before the days of air conditioning. | |||||||||||||||||||||
