Improving Your Photography<br />
Photo Review Session<br />
by Excio<br />
F/8, 1/350s, ISO 400, <strong>19</strong>mm <br />
REVIEW BY:<br />
Matej Tandara<br />
INITIAL THOUGHTS<br />
The idea for this photo is good showing the high<br />
skyscrapers in the big city from street level. The focus<br />
is spot on, the skyscrapers are very sharp and the<br />
colours are very good being vibrant yet still natural.<br />
An overall solid image with a few technical errors but<br />
otherwise great potential.<br />

DYNAMIC RANGE<br />
Evening in Qatar by Alexander Heggie<br />
The skyscrapers in the image are perfectly exposed<br />
but the bottom of the image, especially the right<br />
corner, is too dark creating a “closed” feeling. I would<br />
advise going into Photoshop or any other image<br />
editing software and selecting the darker parts, lifting<br />
the shadows and then masking them into the image<br />
so that they don’t stand out. This would give the<br />
image an overall better feel and most importantly,<br />
make it appear more open. The added brightness<br />
would also make the skyscrapers look better and<br />
maybe even give them the sense of being taller.
