Went on a photowalk with some other enthusiasts on the weekend and as we were down on the harbour under the bridge at twilight figured I might as well do the unthinkable and have another go at butchering the icons...

SOH


and to end the night to keep with the acronym theme - up close and personal with the massive cruise ship docked at the OPT


(the last my first edit with Lightroom 4 to locally WB adjust the colour cast from the cold LED lightpainting of the bollards and mooring lines)

Icons butchered!! Seriously, these are pretty well done technically, but I am unsure about your physical vantage point used for the first.

I actually like the first image very much. It drags the eye in and it shows a slightly different view from the run of the mill postcards shots. All very nice technically though the Opera House suffers from the empty foreground syndrome.

Thanks Cam - I think It's more that it's nearly impossible to do something interesting/different with them. I was on safe and solid ground I assure you

- should have pushed someone in maybe to get them in the foreground? they'd have to hold still for sixty seconds of course...

That may have been the problem.....

That may solve the empty foreground problem........not sure if you will be liked for it though

The first is lovely with the great reflections. What about pp and straightening the wide angle spread of the bridge and buildings?

Thanks Ian - do you mean straightening up the buildings on the far shore? Because I shot upwards and at an angle I'm not sure this will work well since the distortions will be uneven across the frame.
