waiting for the sunset

I like the feel of peace when i look at this shot.

Shot this photo while I was waiting for the sunset, would like

comments on it

I would have probably placed the bench more to the left or to the right in the frame. closer by might also work. Above all a nice scenery.

a closer look definately goes for a cropping-out of the part left of the bench. that creates more depth in your already picture...

I see a lonely bench with a big mean-looking sky. Nice photo.

lots of people have been telling me that this photo is too dark, i took more photos of this scene but i never caught the clouds as well as I did here ... is it possible to get filters that darken clouds + sky? or maybe a filter that is adjustable for darken (top/bottom)

Sounds like you're asking about graduated neutral density filters. They restrict the light for part of the photo but not the rest.

Hi Huni,

 

When I read the title i thought what a silly simple little title. After seeing the work, I love it. Even simoply "Bench" would work well given the simplicity of the shot.

 

This shot could have very easily turned into an ordinary shot. this is an example of how a number of seemingly non related elements can work together.

 

 

The blue strip of horizon and its placement is wonderful. Something to hang on your wall. I just hope you used Pro film for the shot.

How lonely is this... I wonder how much more lonely it would feel if the bench was in a corner of the image... maybe the left one so it's even further away... how lonely would that be. this is a nice image, a bit static, but nice. if you'd put the bench in the left and the sun over toward the right... maybe you'd get an interesting diagonal play ;) nice tho!

If you would like to have more detail in the bench I guess you will have to make a double exposure. 1 metered for the bench, and one metered for the sky, do it from a tripod (with a remote control cable), then mix the 2 pictures in a picture editing program.

 

But to me the contour of the bench speaks for itself :) guess I would have put the bench a little more to the left or right of the picture but I like it the way it is now anyway.
