Xmas lights III
Posted by MnX (Shanghai, China) on 22 December 2006 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
For the first time in this series, I'm happy of the result. I think it's by far the photo I prefer in all the Xmas light. perhaps merging the skill I learned with architecture photos makes it nicer I don't know... I had also chance having such a nice sky. It was slightly modified with the auto-levels option (giving even more impact and contrast in the colors) but it was already really nice in the un-processed photo.
Oh it's totally manual exposure, and I'm not sure but I used manual focus often yesterday so perhaps this one is a manual focus photo.
I also looked at the c-fn functions of my camera, and made some changes, one I find really nice is about focus...allowing to choose quickly the focus area selected on the camera, giving less control to the camera, and more to the photograph ^^, quicker than manual focus and nearly as flexible...
I'm beginning to be anxious... I still have at least tonight for Xmas light, and I'm not sure I can do better... I'm not even sure I can do as well... But stop talking about what is in my head. Do you (as me) think this is the best in the series? Do you see a place for improvement? (If so tell me, I'm so happy with the current result, I didn't even gave any critical look to this photo...:p)
Have a good day, a nice week end and a merry Xmas!!!
