The Photography Thread

[Zaqarbal]

And after a castle.........a palace. A Royal Palace. Last Friday night:

I tried to apply the so-called rule of thirds. That is, the building at the upper third (more or less).

I don't know what "role" the puddle plays here (if it plays any "role"), but the thing is that there was a puddle at that moment, and it's at the lower third. Actually, that wasn't intentional. I was going to take the photo anyway.

I also like the colors. It's like "silver and gold" or something like that.

Haha, the rule of thirds doesn't really work for this picture.
I'd go
1/3rd: Sky
1/3rd: castle
1/3rd: Ground
Now there's an awful lot of ground if you ask me.
Nice lighting, very nice.
Pity about the little spot of light on the left, coming from a streetlight.

All in all a very nice picture to look at

At least I think this is about photography, right? Not just about the picture? I could be wrong, you never know with me .

Why not start your own thread entitled S_K Critiques Your Photos.
so if anybody wants you to do that they post in that one, if they don't they post in this one.

Problem solved.

good feedback. If I had a decent camera I would practice all this religiously. But until then, it's a hobbie .

Oi, David Bailey...allow me to explain how this works in real life.
Calm down with the critiques. You assume all your comments are welcome.
I for one don't want to read a "pro tip" every time I come in here to have a gander at what some of the members have posted. It's irritating!

Ooops, nearly forgot;

[s_k]

That helps.

I'll stop commenting then .
If anyone wants a comment on the technical bit of the photo, just ask.

Yeah, I know. But at night the sky is black. Dark as Devil's soul, you know...

So we could say:

1/3rd: Palace
1/3rd: Smooth pavement
1/3rd: Cobbled pavement + puddle

Circumstances, man, circumstances. Circumstances are everything. At night, I need a surface to rest the camera on. And there only were bollards there. You know, one of these:



So perspective was determined by a bollard's location.

Hahaha, allright. Diggin' your excuses .
