Welcome to Mars
One of the most spectacular places I've seen in Iceland. Getting there is definitely an adventure, but once you arrive, it feels like stepping onto another planet.

Best battery for a full day of travel photography?
I'm shooting on a Sony a6400 with one spare NP-FW50 battery, but clearly that setup isn't enough for a full day outside.

Is there a phone that takes natural-looking night photos? I can't stand photos that are overexposed all over.

Which phone takes natural-looking yet flattering selfies? Is OPPO or vivo better?

Can you recommend a smartphone that takes photos that look both natural and beautiful? I'm tired of photos that look so fake. What do you think of the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max?

Allen you should share this image with the architectural firm, I'm sure they'd appreciate it.
I love that lens…couldn't do my work without it. Can you share what amount of tilt/shift you used.
The only comment I have is the heavy vignette creeped into the building itself, reducing your shadow detail at the top. Other than that it's a great pic!
Daniel, Thak you so much for taking the time to offer your critique and your kind words! I usually use about 10mm of shift, and believe that is what I did here.
You are very correct, I got a bit heavy handed with the vignette.... I will defiantly fix that. Thank you!
Excellent shot.
The only thing I would have changed is to take a series of exposures to collect passersby in different positions and then layer the files to arrange the walkers without overlaps such as exists that in the lower right.
I agree with Daniel, that you should share the image with the architect. Only if you want to get hired though. ;)
Indy, Thank you very much for your comments and critique!
I did actually comp 4 exposures for the pedestrians, and you are probably right, I could use a few more exposures. The overlapping couple is a good catch, and I will watch out for that next time! Thank you!
