Title: Rot Fai Night Market, Bangkok
Post by: shadowblade on December 31, 2018, 12:11:31 am
Not sure whether these qualify as landscapes, street shots or what - I guess the first one's probably a cityscape, while the second one is a close-up from the same point.

Anyway, both shots were taken at Rot Fai Night Market in Ratchada, Bangkok. Taken from the fourth floor of the carpark in the adjacent Esplanade building. A good place for photos, but don't bother eating here - it's the same thing you get all over Bangkok, but without the local subtleties and at twice the price.

1. A7r3 and 12-24/4G at 15mm, f/8, ISO 100. Five-shot stitched panorama, with three blended layers at 1/8s, 1/2s and 2s exposure.

2. A7r3 and 100-400 GM at 125mm, f/8, 1/8s, ISO 100.

I love the colors in the closeup.
B&W really wouldn't work here, IMHO.

It's a bit hard when you're dealing with backlit canopies, fluorescent canopies and backlit, fluorescent canopies. It was hard enough trying to squeeze it into sRGB for web output.

I particularly like the second shot and would like to spend several hours just shooting these bright colours myself - excellent..
