[Numnumball] ClarkeQuay/Art Bridge revisited - Great light before the rain 05 Jun 10

[Numnumball]

Hiya folks,

Thought there will be great light this dawn after the rain the night before (which is normally the case) and the effort to pull myself out of bed at 0600 hrs kinda paid off.. WAter in the river leading from Robertson Quay to Clarke Quay was very clam and wind was kept to a minimum and surprisingly the river was not that polluted compared to what it was like few weeks back when i was there. Light was indeed great from 640hrs onwards till overcast at ard 0800 hrs ( which is also the time which i quickly packed and scurried for cover as drizzle of rain starting pouring in. :sweat

Sharing with all shots took this morning in this wonderful community.

Mostly Digital Blended/DRI'ed with minimal processing after (Mostly Distortion Correction/Mild sharpening and Color Enhancement)

All comments and critiques for me to improve further are most welcome

Thanks for viewing guys~~!!

Have a Great Weekend!! :cheers:

Cheers~!!

All with D700/16-35VRF4

1. Taken ard 0635 hrs - Great chance to shoot low angle with calm waters, use of black card to dodge off the glaring light intensity coming from the street lights on the right but not optimally minimised.. :sweatsm

EXIF : Base ISO|16mm|f/16|13s|+0.3EV

2. Showcasing the Art Bridge unique structure, corrected for perspective distortion @ 0640 hrs (love the leading lines and great depth in this framing though a further 1/4 foreground revelation will be most ideal but hack..lolz)

EXIF : Base ISO|16mm|f/18|10s|+0.3EV

3. Showcasing the Art Bridge unique structure - alternate view further in, corrected for perspective distortion @ 0645 hrs (an expanded view which further enhanced the leading lines with highlights details mainly retained in the bridge)

EXIF : Base ISO|16mm|f/18|10s|0EV​

4. Okie, after i had done with the bridge, i hassled my ass fast to Clarke Quay as the gold light start to surface..
@ 0655hrs, i took this shot! Balancing elements of Riverboats, Riverside Point Clarke Quay and Central as the main focal points.. Great Light from here onwards.. A GND 0.6Soft is used for this

EXIF : Base ISO|16mm|f16|6s|-1EV

5. After Shot 4, i moved on to the right towards Riverside point, found a low angle shooting spot and took this!

@ 0700hrs : ND8 used for this.. The reflection was what you see on the actual scene (NO replicating in PS~! :lovegrin Loved it... :heart:

6. After Shot 5, i picture this frame and compose and whacked~!

@ ard 0705hrs : ND8 used for this.. The colorful riverboats made a very interesting foreground interest and thought of centralizing the central building with reflection smacked in the middle of the frame with other focal points emcompassing it..
Creating multiple interest viewing points..
