Miss Cherry Blossom @ Jurong Point

[concuss]

Hey guys,

As promised, the shots from Miss Cherry Blossom @ Jurong Point today!!!

Only had time to PS this lot, the rest, aiyah, some other day, tired ah...

Enjoy guys!!

And just in case anyone ask... yes, shot all this with my ONLY lens... 50mm f1.8D, so all heavily cropped lah... and ESPN, don't say a word.... :blah: :bsmilie:

 

[concuss]

hmmm... maybe should not have made them so small... can't see anything!!!

haha... sigh... tire dlah... sleep....

your colours appear pretty flat and lowly saturated.

by the way, the shadow of the ladies in the background is distracting to me.

apart from that, the framing seems pretty alright for a 50mm lens

Hey sehshuan,

Have to agree with u on that, not sure why, but after posting on image station, the pictures came out blurred and flat.

Well, can't be the JPEG compression right? hmmm.... will look into it tonight... :think:

thanks anyway! :bsmilie:

 

[espn]

You need the 70-200VR :devil:

:bsmilie:

You shot wide open ? Or used flash? Colours a bit off.

It's the something to do with the workflow. Perhaps over PSed. Colour balance. You could be trying to rid your pics of the tungsten lights but by removing it totally you also removed hidden colours from you pics. What I suggest is to keep some of the original tungsten cast, you won't lose colours neither will you lose the ambient lighting which adds the mood.

BTW, so as not to stray OT, nice pics concuss and modenaslim, makes me kinda wish I had went to the event..
