Wow... looks like you used the DRI technique... How long was the exposure? Fabolous shot

thank you. i didnt use any technique like that. personally i try to keep my photoshop usage to the bare minimum (curves, usm, maybe a touch of saturation, border etc).

this shot was taken on a 20d, 10mm (effective: 16mm), f9, iso 200, shutter 30secs (the longest it will go without using bulb mode). and a tripod of course.

thanks! not a lot to it, keep your iso low, set your shutter speed long, and use a tripod.
if your camera has a mirror lockup function (if youre using a slr), use that as well.

hope you get some good shots

This time without car

Great picture, great composition. I like the two sides, blue and calm, and on the other side still colourful, buzzing and busy.

heh, your to modest, isn't that always the case with photography, i find that a bit of luck is what usually makes or breaks a shot.

luck plays its part, but so does knowing what to do with it. and you need a bit of both to create something nifty

beautiful picture.. it looks almost too perfect to be a photo. :] I like how that tree/bush/thing acts as a divider, and both elements sort of come off of it. nice shot! and shane's a silly fool.. don't listen to him.

ratiocinative In reply to coolmodern [2005-08-23 19:51:26 +0000 UTC]

haha, thanks! i think you see it a little more like i do, as more of a split shot. shane does make a valid point though, and one that i didnt think of. so im glad he commented.
happy you like it

I think I'd like it more with the road cropped out of the picture. The two light sources seem to be competeing against each other. Otherwise it's a really neat picture. Was the moon pohotshopped?

ratiocinative In reply to anmshane [2005-08-22 17:36:18 +0000 UTC]

no, this was how it was shot. thats kind of the way i wanted it, the sleepy country on one side, busy city on the other. i have some others of the two elements isolated, might post them
