Sunset at LPR

[hjbyeo]

LPR ... i know it's been photographed so many times, and possibly at this angle a million times ... My very 1st trip there (for a singaporean!!) and didn't have time to look around for other possible angles.

The sun going down just behind the clouds? Happen to chance upon this over the weekend. Really welcome all constructive feedback and comments !!

#1 before the sun went totally hiding behind

Tried a different WB.




#2 sun behind clouds totally and possibly below the horizon ...

I think was AWB.

very nice and abstract, love the sky you have there, the gradual tones really make these work.

Thank you! If you are there, you'll enjoy the calmness of the picturesque reservoir.

WK! Thanks! Coming from you, I'm ecstatic!! Would there be anything that I should be looking out for in terms of composition?

if i would nitpick, it would be that the pavillion is shoved in one side,

i understand why you did that, the clouds are really too beautiful to exclude on the left, so maybe you can move right, and then correct the possible resultant horizontal perspective distortion in post process, or use liquify tool. that way, you can keep the clouds, and still have the pavillion less to the side.

This one is lovely, it has a very nice hue with a calm and serene feel.

Hahaha... how did you know that I wanted to keep the clouds!!

Liquify? Hmm ... need to research liao.

Noted on going to the right to keep the clouds + pavillion closer in to the left.

But we just sold ours! But you still got the Nikon mount 1.

You may want to see some of the best shots from the fellow clubsnappers / night86mare ... a lot of them even better composed and much better colors. But find time, go there. It's such a nice location for sunset.

I reached there at close to 7 ... was already rushing to get the pictures. 1 angle 1 shot only this time round. Will explore more, and will keep posting on this thread for LPR.
