thanks for the comment! i prefer more highlights but have to balance exposure just a little more

Too much highlights can blow the details... gotta balance la...
check the histogram...

yup, histogram and highlight checked, there are some parts. can't keep everything in proper exposure or else it will be dim ... or ask fullerton and merlion to soften their lights just a bit thanks anyway.

Get a ND fliter. And oso the coconut tree can clone away.

I actually prefer a bit cold WB for night shot So I usually reduce the red curves in PP. It depends on the mood though
