Abandoned bridge[edit]

Abandoned bridge in Laholm, Sweden

I took this picture the other day. I would like to get some feedback from others on the picture. It appears in a gallery on the article on Laholm

  • Comment - That's a nice image - you've found a pretty subject and the composition is pretty aesthetic. I might have been inclined to move slightly further to the left, to get a slightly more oblique angle on the bridge, but otherwise it's good. One thing that would hamper its chances at FPC is the overexposed sky and chromatic aberration around the treetops. Since you have an SLR camera, you can avoid this either by stopping down the exposure slightly (although that might introduce noise in the subject itself) or by using a circular polariser or a graduated neutral-density filter to reduce the brightness of the sky and increase its colouration. If you don't already have one of those, you should be able to pick them both up for not much cash from a photographic dealer. Alternatively, you could reshoot either early in the morning or later in the afternoon, when the sun is lower and the contrast between shadow and light isn't so strong. Those times of day also produce some attractive lighting, provided the surroundings don't make everything fall too deeply into shadow. --YFB ¿ 23:35, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
