Cloudy Sunset

Hello everyone!

I'm back with couple of pictures, and can't wait for your critiques


Have a nice weekend and a Happy Valentine !

I very much like the idea of these pictures, especially number one, but the blown highlights are very distracting. This scene is tailor-made for the use of a two stop graduated ND filter. I'd also suggest a crop to move the horizon off of the centre.

I agree, the clipped highlights are a major distraction in this otherwise beautiful looking scene.

Shots like this could also benefit from a pseudo HDR process where you just take ANOTHER UNDEREXPOSED exposure of the same shot and layer it in a graphics program like P.shop and use blending modes to reveal the blown out parts in the original image.
Hope that helps

Thank you guys !
I forgot to take different exposure shots, but it's kind of hard to take different exposure shots, identically, when I'm not using a tripod (I don't have on yet).
I know about that highlight , and I can't move it from the center, because I have to sacrifice from top or bottom.

I know the HDR technique, but I'll use that one after I'll get a tripod, or I have to do more thinks in Photoshop to match the images.

I want to apologies that I'm not saying my opinion on other people's pictures, but I consider myself in a beginner position, so...
When I'll have enough experience, I'll be more active. Until than I'll practice more and more.

Thanks again for critiques and tips
