Hi all,
I took this photo a couple of days ago at the City Hall War Memorial.
I like a few things about the photo:
1) How the light strikes onto the top column of the tower, throwing the vague symmetry slightly off through the use of contrast.
2) How the lines lead me from the base of the tower, which is dark, dirty and grainy towards the top of the tower, which is cleaner brighter and purer.
3) How the overexposed part of the sky resemble a cross.
To me, this photo represents the ascension of our civilian victims from the dark abyss of the war to the purity in what I perceive to be Heaven itself.
Amen to our lost ones.
Camera: Sony A100
Lens: Minolta 50mm f/1.7
Focal: 75mm (35mm equivalent)
Iso:100
Aperture: f/1.7
Shutter: 1/4000s
Postprocessing: Picasa
Would like to seek C&C on the following:
1) Should I have selected a larger aperture value to get a deeper D.O.F?
2) Do you think the picture has a subject?
3) Does the picture have a mood?
4) Does my interpretation fit the picture? (this is pretty personal, but just asking anyway)
5) What could I have done to get rid of the badass purple fringing?
6) Is my white (im)balancing ok?
7) Any other comments?
Cheers,
WeiSheng
