Hello from Shanghai

Re: Hello from Shanghai

It's much clearer tonight. I don't know whether the misty glow in the original makes it better or not? This was taken using an Olympus Pen E-PL3 instead of the Nikon J1:

Now I can see this on the big monitor at the office it does look a bit too dark - will re-do this definitely.

A bit to clinical without that misty glow of the previous shots

Mmmm... how about this version?:



Actually the first one I posted has more interesting lights...

I agree. This last one (nearer the original) is a cracker, with lots of detail and lovely colours.

The other one (the one you brightened up) had lost the Aurora 'ToTo' details completely and made everything else too bright.

It's a very attractive, fascinating scene.

Re: Hello from Shanghai

I agree, the last one is about as good as it gets

Nailed it!

Re: Hello from Shanghai

By the way - I'm not on holiday, this is work you know!

Ian

I found all your images of Shanghai and some of its people very interesting. Especially the Chinese Opera singers. The definition of that shot was exceptional. Just one point though - if this is work then I clearly chose the wrong career !

Re: Hello from Shanghai

Thanks Ray. I must revisit my Nikon J1 and N1 shots as the ones I posted at the time were all from JPEGs as RAW development wasn't yet supported by Lightroom.
