Title: columbus
Post by: Jeremy Roussak on September 01, 2013, 02:41:26 pm

I'm not sure about this one. It was a dull, uninteresting day and I thought it was worth a try. Comments?

It was a dull, uninteresting day, Jeremy. The dull, uninteresting powerlines don't help either. Actually, it's not a bad composition. Maybe losing the powerlines would help.

Usually, the purpose of throwing the foreground into a silhouette is to stress the beauty of the background (mostly sky). With uninteresting sky, no reason to underexpose. No reason to expose for the foreground either, as it would turn 2/3 of the image white. Come to think of it, no reason to expose at all ;)

Pithily put, Slobodan, and not entirely unexpected. They're cable car lines, in fact, Russ.

I think I'll go here.

You've found one of the Ali Baba'a caves! Might lift one's mood after the Columbus statue!
