Hey all,
This is a composite of about ~20 images I took at 70mm and combined for large format prints.
Looking to see what you all think of the edit, anything you would do differently? Any feedback is welcome.
Pittsburgh, PA at blue hour and during a ball game
Love the edit man! I love the the blue hour and city lights look on these kind of images! Personally i think that if you cropped off the left hand side of the image it would make a stronger composition but that's just me. I think the more interesting part is the city scape on the right! Great image mate!
There are so many difficulties when shooting this sort of work, especially with balancing city lights. You managed to compose this well. I will say, however, I would consider a slightly different color grade.
Nice shot - I'd probably try to tone down the green bushes to the bottom right, as it conflicts with the evening tone of the city - almost like the bushes were shot during daytime. Any way you can get an angle where that bush isn't blocking the Fort Pitt Bridge and you can see the whole bridge? Then maybe on the sky make it a little more even left to right so it doesn't go dark and greyish on the left, and maybe drag a slight dark gradient from the top. The highways look super cool with the lights/traffic moving across.
Great image! I love the composition. I noticed some of your highlights are blown out by the ballpark. I like to throw an ND filter on my lenses during blue hour to minimize this. It also gives lights a starred look during longer exposures.
