The Dragon

skyhifi · 17th November 2006

Though I have been in this forum since August this year (also started photography around that time), I have learnt a lot from the gurus here. I didn't have the guts to post any pics here as it can be quite embarassing if it's not up to standard. But I guess I will not improve much if there are no criticism, hence I am posting my very first photo.

This shot of my block was taken just today. A bright sunny day in Punggol. I did some Unsharp Mask and slight cropping to the photo. Details of the shot is as follows:

Camera: Canon 20D
Lens: Canon 17-40 f4 L
Shooting Mode: Aperture-Priority AE
TV: 1/25
Av: 13
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 17mm
White Balance Mode: Daylight

Comments are greatly appreciated.

Thanks

PS: Eh...how do I paste the pic directly into this thread?

The image of the 'dragon' does not seem obvious enough, and has little to do in context with a block of HDB flats.

the building look abit flat on the surface. Maybe can try taking the building at 45 degree angle ?

I can visualise the dragon from the pic straight away...just that the composition with the building dun complement the dragon...but nice capture on the cloud

Yah, I know that title does not really fit in for the HDB flat. Actually, I was only taking the flats and did not realise the cloud formation until I viewed the photo on my computer. I thought it would be interesting to have captured the 'Dragon' at that point in time.

Thanks for all your comments. Will do better next time.
