1. In what area is critique to be sought?
appreciate some feedback on the composition and post-processing work. new ideas/suggestions are certainly more than welcome.
2. What one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
#1 - shot containing both structures (helix & marina bay sands)
#2 - view of the urban night scene from marina bay
3. Under what circumstance is the picture taken? (physical conditions/emotions)
both were taken on a hazy night last friday. for #1, i wanted a vertical shot but there was a strong light source from an ongoing construction which caused harsh exposures on the mbs building. also wanted to try hdr but the other pics in the bracket were also bad. managed to get a decent set (-2, 0, +2) for #2 and decided to go for it. unfortunately, the result based on the article i followed (hdr in gimp/qtpfsgui) wasn't to my liking so decided to play with textures again.
4. What the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture?
the out-of-cam pic for #1 was under exposed. not sure on how the framing turned out for both pics too. overall, what i enjoyed the most was the trial & error part of post processing. there's a bit of excitement and anxiety while waiting for the final outcome to appear. looking forward to your helpful tips for future work. thanks in advance!
