Brooklyn Bridge at Night 01

Thank you for your time and comments.

Another great shot of this bridge at night. The one thing I notice is the reflectons of the trees in the water. It looks a bit odd as you can barely see the trees against the building above water. I think I would darken the reflections a little. Other than that its perfect. 6/6

First, I thought that was reflection too, but actually, it's the shadow.

how did you meter for this sceen and did you bracket

I took a few of this with different time length, this is a 2 minutes exposure. I also spent a lot of time on processing the RAW file.

very nice night shoot

Fantastic shot!

This is nice work once again. I like the tones here and especially the time of day where you still have a little light left in the sky. At least it looks like there is some natural lighting left. Sometimes I've seen big cities like this light up the sky so it LOOKS like it's still natural.

 

It does look a little bottom heavy in my opinion, since the water adds a little more to the scene, but not quite enough in my mind to give up half the image. Here is a quick crop to just compare for a moment. The bottom portion sort of equals the sky portion. Either way, I would just suggest looking at some type of crop, even if not as extensive as mine. You have a knack for these bridges ya know, good job. Aloha.

 

PS- I don't know now. After comparing, it's staring to grow a bit more. Is definitely a bit unique how you have it...

 

hmmm

Thank you for the suggestion. The composition for this type of shot is not easy to be original. So I included more water. Didn't see the shadow of the tree at all until got the result. I like your crop, but I prefer to post the full frame image. Still studying your work, more tricks to discover.

I think you are right. This off-balance composition seems to grow on you. No kidding. It does feel off balance... but I kind of like it that way now. Maybe I need sleep...

 

Aloha.

Your photos are amazing !
