Rome Night

[cmr164]

I put some Rome night fountain shots up in another thread where I was explaining about EXIF data. I would like to get some critiques and comments on the pictures. If your bandwidth can take it, click on the picture to see an even larger, but unmodifed version.

And now two of the fountain shots...

Charles, I like the first shot. I like building shots. The shiny streets are a plus. Wouldn't mind it a bit darker around the base of the building, more mysterious. And fewer blown-out highlights at the top. But overall a pleasing image that takes us to a different place. The second fountain shot has a little shake in it, not terribly crisp. I'd prefer the first fountain shot without the vehicles.

BTW, how do you turn the photo itself into a link? :ear

BTW, how do you turn the photo itself into a link? :ear Of course you are right about the shake. I am always pushing the limit on handheld shots and that was f2.8 & 1/6 sec at 35mm focal length. The shot you like was also f2.8 & 1/6 sec., but was at 18mm focal length. I might have gotten away with 1/15 sec but I still do not think the brightly lit upper floor would have avoided being blown.

You do the photo link the same as with text. Select the picture and then click the link button and do the usual.
