Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Eiffel Tower this evening

Postby kazuhiro on Sat Jul 15, 2006 11:19 am

Hi All,

Here is a shot of the Eiffel tower about 2 hours ago, just after the Bastile day fire works display.

I think I could have framed it a little better, and had some better colour. Plus it is a little blown out. It has been rotated and resized.

Any comments on how to get some nice night shots would be great.

Unfortinatley I couldnt get any of the fireworks, my camera was with some friends at the time, and I could not get through the sea of people.

EDIT: all taken with a d70s and Tokina 12-24mm or kit lens.

Image

This is looking through a gate into a monastary just near the Pantheon in Paris. 0 editing other than resize.

Here are some Parisian apartments. Slightly over exposed..

More photos here if any one is interested.

Love the 1st one. The monastary gate would have looked great at night with a long exposure.


Well done.

you can shoot with an fstop around f11

5 to 8 seconds when the fireworks are exploding

between explosions put your hand over the lens to minimize the amount of light getting into the exposure(the yuckie clouded bits after the fireworks has exploded)

after about 8 seconds of fireworks bursts and puttign your hand between bursts you will end up with a long exposure that has multiple fireworks bursts in the 1 pic all nicely exposed

perhaps do this next year, it's a great incentive to go back to paris, you lucky duck
