You can't beat the beautiful soft colors you can get in low light and long exposure. These are beautiful Jeremy. I can't say why but the second one appeals to me most. Top one is great too!
Thanks Ruth
I generally prefer the 2nd composition, but the clouds are cut off and it could have been generally a bit wider. Also it feels like you didn't quite nail the focus (focus stacking may have helped here). Hope this doesn't sound overly critical, I find them very pleasant overall.
Thanks, Francisco,
No, I don't find anything over critical.
This is the widest I could go with my lense. and the focus I saw that too and if I go again I will try to focus stack.
I also like the second one more, Jeremy. I suspect it's because the pool in the foreground of the first draws the eye, but doesn't then quite hold enough interest. Nice mood, though, in both.
There's a bit of lateral chromatic aberration in both images, visible as a green fringe on the skyline at right. Most lenses have some, especially kit lenses, but it's easy to remove in most software with dedicated tools.
ok. Thanks Chris
Great shots and nice color capture. If you are using Lightroom, you can try to remove the chromic aberration that Chris is talking about by expanding the lens correction group (for me it is on the right side in the develop module) and clicking the Remove Chromic Aberration. I also click the lens profile correction which on my canon lenses will reduce the vignetting and distortion.
This is the first time I'm using Lightroom classic so I didn't know how to do it. so Now I know thanks, Shawn.
If your lens "profile" is listed in your software and recognised by it, which is quite likely, then the software can pretty much completely correct chromatic aberration, distortion (bending of straight lines) and vignetting automatically for you.
There are some great lightroom tips that have been posted to this site. They have really helped a lot and reduced my editing time.
