Took this yesterday whilst at North Head...combination of city/bush landscape...comments welcomed:

Excellent work Geoff
Great depth of field work, it feels like a very cosy scene
i assume you used your 50mm 1.4?

Thanx mate,
Nope..kit lens 1/200th sec. F13 @ 70mm.

really nice shot Geoff. I like the way you have composed the city between the branches.....very well done.

The only thing I'd possibly look to change is a little more contrast on the cityscape...but that's just my personal preference.

Well done

Cool image Geoff. A nice fresh look at a well photographed subject. I like the soft contrast on the citiy, giving a hazy effect, and how it is in contrasts with the strong blacks in the forground nature.

Cheers,

We now know who the North Shore bush lurker is

Great shot Geoff

Very nice geoff, thats a view of Las Sydneynus I have never seen before. where's that Coat Hanger thingy

Mic.

Thanx Mic,

Look carefully to the right

Hi Geoff,

I must admit that I have a rather different idea regarding this shot.
I would have cropped it much tighter because I believe that in its current form the photo has too much foreground shrubbery and too much twigs on either side, especially on the left hand side.
I believe that the city scape deserves all the attention, framed by a less amount of twigs.

Cheers

ok...so I took christiand's advice/thoughts and copped the image more, by the way, this is not inverted..then I played around in CS2 - and came up with this.... went to image/adjustments/gradient map... and this was the outcome...just mucking around

Hi Geoff,

what do you think about this crop ?




Cheers

Yeah...it's good but not enough sky is included I don't think

I like it, but agree with Dave that a little more contrast on the city/clouds might be a good thing.
