single photos Inside - Outside

Taken in the old centre of New Orleans (it's the famous Bourbon

Street, as you can see). This town is just amazing. Among others, Tony

French knows... ;-) Cheers, Volker

A really beautiful shot with very nice lighting, Volker!

Volker, a great shot of this bar. Nicely detailed inside and out. I particularly like seeing the side street. I tried taking a similar shot at 7 AM during the summer, but the amount of grain made it unusable. 

An unusual composition with excellent exposure. Very interesting slice of life. Yes, the side street has definitely enhanced the attraction. Best regards.

Very live capture, with wonderful light control, masterful composition and nice color balance. This kind of piece of arts is very attractive for persons like me living in another hemisphere, liking to know about routine life in another country and culture. I really liked it and enjoyed. Thank you for sharing it.

Interesting composition with admirable exposure control. The light management is fantastic. A piece of life from you in reality.

Thanks for sharing. All the best. Regards.

Hi dear Volker,

I like this shot very much!Nice colours and very well view!

Good title,also.

Best regards(Bobby).

Many thanks for giving so much positive feedback!

Tony, I entirely agree to you, it was very difficult to achieve useable results under such difficult light conditions. Most of the pics I shot at ISO 1000 or 800 during that evening (this one here at 1000), but got around 10-30 sec exposure time only then... (at f/2.8). This pic was post-processed a bit especially addressing the ISO grain - very important IMO: using NoiseNinja to get rid of the ISO grain. Maybe a full frame sensor works a bit better here (is more recommendable) rather than a crop sensor, because of (still) reduced ISO grain at higher ISO numbers. I'm always amazed yet how well my old 5D (Mark I) handles this issue in a lot of available light cases... In combination with Noise Ninja (or even without) the results are very often amazing IMO.

Gonna come up with some more shots of New Orleans soon.

Cheers,

Volker

Great shot with excellent control of light!!!!

Interesting street/nightlife capture which is very well composed. I like the view of the people inside showing what's going on. Very good exposure. Just a small suggestion.... I would suggest a slight burning in of the left outer edge of the image as it lacks some contrast compared with the rest of the image. Best regards JB

Many thanks!

John, appreciate, you're right, however, it is a minor flaw IMO, maybe it has to be a part  of such a kind of street shot? Depends, I would say... Anyway, let me come up with an amended version, which will address your issue, a bit later on.

Cheers, Volker

Fantastic , BR
