Had wanted to post these pics for critique but because I was comparing more than 1 pics my post was deleted. Anyway, hope this is the place to post.
Got sight of this awesome sunset view yesterday after the big rain outside my HBD flat and immediately grabbed my cam to take the following shots....
Using UWA at 11mm to capture the whole area of cloud formation which was so majestic with the setting sun as a backdrop lighting up the blue sky and some of the HDB at the bottom. Sun area a bit overexposed with highlights, but if i lower the exposure, the HDB wont be seen that clearly... esp the sun's rays hitting the flats on the bottom right.
Few mins later, using another zoom lens at 28mm, to zoom in a bit and cut off the HDB, the exposure was reduced and the lighting seems better with the 'tobacco' & smokey effect colors in the sky. But this time, the bottom HDBs are totally out...
Only remembered a GND filter could be used and tried it out today, but it seems with sun in the middle, the GND effect wont work because top part is totally underexposed...
Appreciate any comments on this dilenma.... or any comments on how to improve the shot? Should HDBs be included? My GND usage wrong?
