The light was great this afternoon, it was sunny but we had a lot of dark clouds in the sky. This creates great reflections due to the low angle of the sun and the clouds blocking it in part. This and cloudy but bright days are best to use the following JPG color settings on the GRD I. I set the contrast to +2, the color depth to -2 and the sharpness to +1. It produces great colors, especially the longer the exposure is. This shot was taken in A-mode though but I will write a post with the settings and the way I use the GRDs soon.

The floor and shadows are beautiful. Maybe you could have used more of that for framing.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wouter! I did take a few pictures focusing only on the floor and the shadows but chose this instead. The guy in the picture gave it more life.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful light and colors, indeed! I would be very interested in your settings recommendations - it´s always good to learn something new!

The message I get when clicking on your web site is:

Thanks Cristi - and by the way I have no idea about the location of today's image.

The picture is taken at Canary Wharf at the Jubilee Place entrance next to the old Lehman Brothers building.
