Hi Guys, I took this some time ago and decided that I might try a B&W conversion on it. What do you think?? Its a 4 image stitch that I have cropped to a 3:1 ratio. Unfortunately 3:1 crop means a lot of data is lost (>50%) when the image is reduced to fit in the 900 x 1200 pixel limit for posting, unfortunately nothing I can do about that... The Light towers left of center are over the famous WACA cricket ground for those of you that know what cricket is...
1D4 + 24 to 70 F2.8 at 58mm, on tripod.
30 sec @ F13, ISO 100.
I really like this one Don - good mono presentation (though I'd also like to see it in colour?)
I think it will work better with the FG rocks cropped out?
Thanks for the comments. I will post the colour version tonight when I get home.. The rocks I was not sure about myself... They don't offer a leading line and so I cropped them to provide a minimal base, but I still wasn't convinced it was right. Might try cropping just above the big rock and completely remove the big block of apartments RHS to maintain my 3:1...
Hi Don, lovely city scape and I like both color and B&W versions and version with rocks cropped out really draws all our attention to the city skyline. Love all the stars created by the city lights too. Nice work!
I really like the "excitement" of the color version. One of my first thoughts was to crop out the rocks, so I'm glad Morkel agreed. I like the way the slanted towers and their reflections anchor the center.
