I cant see the photos for some reason. Is it my computer or the photos are not available anymore??

I’ve been having my lunch there loads of times but never bothered to take the camera out..must’ve been to hungry :). Very nice photo. It would be nice to include the fountain in the photo but that would probably distort the whole thing way to much.

I like the compositional lines but, personally, I would add a tad bit more contrast. I wonder how would it look in a Black and White.

Jb.believe it or not..these were the colours there. I darkened the ambient in the camera and then set the strobes to full power to overpower the harsh light thus saturating all the colours. In LR I then added a touch of fill light to bring more light into the clouds. That was all the post-processing ( if we exclude the cropping-resizing and watermark)
I agree with the interior light but I just couldn’t diffuse the light. The reason…:)..my diffuser fell in horse sh_t that was plenty around, and as one can imagine, couldn’t place that diffuser on the strobe anymore :) I tried to bounce it off a reflector but as you can see without any success.
I like the BW version also but I said I’ll give it a go with the colour one also. Thank you for your critique.

You are right Mark. I kept looking at the photo and realised that is missing a focal point. The photo is lacking power…
Ok..Another one to the recycle bin :)

thank you all for your comment. I totally agree with all the comments regarding the third photo. Big screw-up.
Cheers all.

Cheers Denis
You confirm my thoughts :)
I really do not understand who models hunch theirs shoulders! It makes them look sooooo deformed. 99% of them do the same think. You pick the camera, they put their hands on their hips and hunch their shoulders forward…why?? who invented this?? :lol:

I am not an expert in what happens inside Lightroom or Capture NX but I dont think that they are reading the Jpeg set WB (I could be wrong ). My opinion is that while Capture NX knows exactly the WB for each NEF file ( since its been developed for Nikon), Lightroom is only guessing. Otherwise I cannot explain how same shot done with a Custom WB ( using a graycard or WhiBal) looks completely different in LR then on NX. The closest to reality..NX. No wonder Lightroom got the lowest score in Thom Hogan’s review.

Halpin. Thank you for your answer. I thought that the cold is supposed to suck the life out of a battery but I could be wrong.
The funny part is that some of the files (NEF) displayed a slight blue cast and in some cases even some posterisation when opened in Lightroom. However, the same files displayed perfectly fine in Capture NX with no sign of blue cast or posterisation. Figure that out…I presume this shows once again the huge difference when it comes to Raw Converters. ( I know..I used the Nikon profiles in Lightroom)
UV filter..hmm…it could be a solution. I have 4-5 somewhere in a drawer but still not using them. I am thinking..why put a 100euro piece of glass in front of a 2000 euro lens?? 8)
