Eiffel Tower 2008

[KSeet]

I took this with my Olympus E510, 14-42mm with a 15 seconds exposure.

Any comments for me please?

Thanks!

i think u shld do a portrait instead... look rather empty...

actually nothing to do with ur photo... i beginning not to like effiel in the evening.. look veri unnatural... its really a bit challenging to get nice composition for the evening... so u juz came back? how is the weather there now? cold?

btw... i hv been asking this... what time is the sunrise and sunset over there now... from where i am i predict its 5am and 5pm...

The sun doesn't rise so early during winter. When i was there around this time last year, sunrise was about 7-8am and the sun would set early at around 4-5pm. That's if i remembered correctly.

Simply gorgeous in deed

Nice on Eiffel Tower, but too much dark foreground.

You should crop away the black part at the bottom. Contributes nothing to the photo.

haha ok! yah I came back on Saturday evening. The sun rose about 9am, and set about 5pm. More or less by a few min lah. Temperature is about 0-4 degrees and depends on cloud cover. at night, with wind and chill factor, most likely -2, -1 already!

the tower does look brilliant, but there are a couple of things that distract me.

1) the "dead" foreground - move closer, zoom in or crop to recompose the pic
2) the slight slant of the tower - my eyes could be failing me, but i think that there is a slight slant to the shot.

i think that the shot would be more dramatic if the sky was darker. either wait a little long in the evening / earlier in the morning. also check with your ISO setting, set it to the lowest (e.g. iso100).

yah there's a slight slant to the photo..haha i think i should had adjusted it before I posted.

Yah i also agree I should crop the photo. will do so! :P

My ISO setting...hmm...forgot to set that. It could be at ISO100 if I'm not wrong, but i'll recheck.

It was already quite dark. I sort of adjusted the levels to expose a bit of the clouds. Maybe I shouldn't have done that? haha okie!

Thanks for your tips man!

only my $0.02... btw, clicked on your webbie and saw your shots of the inside of the cathedral. you should consider sharing some of them here.

[KSeet]

haha thanks for visiting man! those shots are from St Gallen's cathedral, a UNESCO site. I'll do that soon! thanks for your encouragement!
