Jump to postHey Manny, That is an absolutely gorgeous image. Flawless. Let me repeat that... FLAWLESS. F-L-A-W-L-E-S-S. Light, composition. Absolutely nothing to add. Your shot is aesthetically as perfect as you can get a shot to be. Perfect light, excellent angle. Gorgeous shot man. GORGEOUS. That's a Photogra...
Jump to postHi Royal, Thanks for taking the time to get back. I don't necessarily disagree with you, I'm just wondering if there still isn't interest in this, even as the airport itself slowly "vanishes." I think your word choice was good actually. I'd just hope that topically, the state of Kai Tak as it slowly...
Jump to postI just received a "Motive" rejection for a photo I took of Kai Tak. The photo was taken from a common location of which there are numerous other exampls in the database, but is an update of the former airfield in its current condition. Based on this rejection am I to assume that photos of present-da...
Jump to postThanks for the feedback Dana and Tony. I redid with moderated Contrast / Brightness and tried on the color thing. Still working through the color cast issues with the Nikon.

Jump to postHey guys, Thanks again for everyone's time and all the feedback. Trying to strike a balance on the color thing, but I was also trying to troubleshoot this "color cast" issue that's been rearing its head lately. Maybe I picked the wrong shot to do it.

Jump to postThanks for the prompt feedback guys. As I mentioned to Paul in email, when I was shooting with the Canon most of the feedback was regarding sharpness.

Thanks for getting back so fast. Quick question... any suggestion on a technique for toning down the whites? I'm kinda at a loss how to move forward on it without darkening the whole thing.
Cheers!

Jump to postHey guys, Little weird... in the thumbnail it looks a little high... in the picture a little low. But I measured it and it's basically centered.
