Old Abbey, Howth
-
I haven’t really done pictures like this before, went for a stroll in howth one evening.
First thoughts, very dark. Even more so with the black border. I think you have a really good picture if its a tad brighter. Anyone that didn’t know this area already I think would be struggling to make out the form of the image. Its definitely a nice shot though. I really like the little bit of light coming through the window in the Abbey. Is it a plane or star or what. I can see nothing else in the sky?
A lovely silhouetted effect, I think it just needs to be the slightest bit brighter…. just a smidgen. :wink:
I’m going to have to apologise in advance.. as I may be about to hurt your feelings… I really don’t mean to sound harsh… but this just doesn’t work at all.
It’s a mass of darkness, with absolutley no detail… have you taken a look at the histogram?
For someone viewing this on an un-calibrated monitor it’s possibly going to look even darker.
I’m really sorry to sound so cutting.
hehe not at all as i said first time doin a shot like this. yeah i tried to brighten it more but it got very noisy! :D
the light is a plane hehe if it was a star it’d be too easy;)
thanks for the comments:D

boom boom-
I thank you-It is dark- that’s not necessarily a problem- though it is dark-
I find that little bit of starlight (or whatever) creeping in around the window to be more of a problem-
it attracts the attention, and is a distraction-The text is wrong too-
there is no other way to say it-
too big, too white, too inappropriate,
and as it sits on the page, tautological, and therefore redundant.At least there is some tone in the sky-
but it might have been good to have some other tone somewhere else too-
jhehe not at all as i said first time doin a shot like this
Apologies Sin… I didn’t realize this having not read your initial commentary. Maybe I’d have been a little easier in how I went about articulating the problem had I have taken this into account.
Agree with jb7 about the text too. I think that borders with text are falling out of fashion at the moment here on PI.
The moral of the story is perhaps to try again.

hehe oh i will :D
yeah i’ve a habit of doing the border and text.
sometimes it suits the picyure:D
thanks for the comments:D
