I went through the shots from the other night again.

The original:



Two new ones:

I took someone's advice (dont entirely remember who and I don't feel like opening a new tab to look it up lol) on this one and did a tighter crop on the skyline itself.






All in all I like the original best. My favorite part is how the city remains constant through the whole bottom of the shot, but the sky fades slowly to black from right to left.

Bigger!

 

lol any bigger and it'll look all fuzzy and shitty.

 

^^ Yeah, but then someone could copy and claim them as their own. :cough:

 

lol I dont really care. It doesn't bother me that people would want to print one for themselves, kind of flattering I guess.

Now, if I were to catch someone selling my pictures? Thats a whole different story obviously.



I can probably say that because I don't use photography as a main source of income. If putting gas in my car depended on selling my pictures, I might have a different outlook.

But alas, that's not the point of this thread!

So let us continue admiring my great talent of pointing my camera at a cloud and hitting the shutter over and over.

 

I like the origional, very nice man.

 

I like the tighter crop. Draws your eye straight to the reason of the photo...but that's just me.


I must of missed something lol

 

Me and you both

 

Man come on I said make it bigger and Mike said then someone could steal it.

Love the cropped version.

 

I wasn't quite specific enough. I had envisioned a vertical crop of the original. The lightning looks more interesting in the original than the two new ones you posted. Also, the clouds look better. Either way, I still like the original I just don't think there's enough emphasis on the lightning. People are amazed by lightning pictures because they think you have to be super-fast to catch the lightning.
