Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

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.

Happy New Year

Happy new year everyone!

I managed to glimpse the midnight fire afterwork but was quite far away.

I struggled to balance the cityscape with ambient in my photos. The city was too dark when I tried to get the fireworks to come out as sharp and well exposed rather than fuzzy and overexposed. Any ideas as to how to go around this problem. I did realise that you could expose for the city in one frame and combine later but didn't think of it at the time. (I am not sure whether my tripod would keep it that still while I fiddled with settings)

Thoughts?

Hi Suren!
Happy New Year to you!

How many Images did you use for this one?

It looks a little square on the right hand sight just to the left and underneath of the red fireworks.
Otherwise it is not a bad Image :up:

I noticed that as well but thought it was the silhouette of a building.

Would it be possible to shoot the city scape again and blend the 2 together?
