1. In what area is critique to be sought?
Composition : Framing, Cropping alignment etc
Technique and post-processing
2. What one hopes to achieve with the piece of work?
I wanted to capture the scene at the Harbour, with the boats anchored with the sun rising from behind them. It was quite a pretty scene an I wanted to capture it. I knew I could get still waters and with the patchy clouds moving fast, I knew the sky would turn out to be rather streaky and nice.
3. Under what circumstance is the picture taken?
Sunrise @ The Reflections at Keppel Harbour. approx 7am
2 image HDI Blend
Canon 6D, Tamron 24-70 @24mm, ND400 Hoya HD, ISO 50, f8.
For the sky and water - 126s
For the boats - ISO 200, 1/100s
The sun was coming up fast and I knew I had to get shots off quickly as the light kept changing. And given that my shots were long exposure shots, I was left with even less time. Snapped a few. And manually blended these two after selecting them from a pool.
4. What the critique seeker personally thinks of the picture.
I love it. Especially when it was tiny and on the LCD of my camera. I thought it had lotsa potential. But I knew at once some form of DRI was necessary. After seeing a lot of members here in CS take beautiful photos of boats, I wanted to do the same too. Manually blending the parts together is quite a challenge and I appreciate the efforts put in by the others when they do manual blending.
As always, I am looking to hear from members as to how this photo can be improved. Looking for ward to hearing your opinions and advice to help me grow.
Thanks in advance!
