Please feel free to comment on this picture take with 20D and sigma 12-24mm lens at 18mm, f5.6 and 1sec.

Thanks

Looks like the building is going to collapse...or that I'm falling down...

You may want to try +0.5-1EV exposure compensation...the building falls quickly into the shadows with details lost.

Instead of shooting when the sky is completely dark, try shooting at dusk, e.g. 7.30pm or so when the sun has just set. The sky will be in a deep blue colour, which adds to the photograph.

Thanks Ah Pao,

Does it mean that when i take pic of building, must always make sure that building is upright.

thanks

depends on what kind of effect you want to achieve. ultimately it's your choice.

Not must but would be good to capture it upright ( as per original ).
