Thank you to those of you have made suggestions about removing the lamp post from one of the photos - I have poped a comment in the community tab with the new edit where the lamp post has been taken out.

[@f1remandg]

Very interesting and gives another perspective to interesting buildings and suspect locations!

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Thank you for commenting and your feedback, please to hear you enjoyed the video

[@ErikBongers]

Clouds would normalise the images. But I prefer the uncanny feeling that the clear skies bring. Also, the busy details of the building would be competing with a busy sky.

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Thats interesting feedback Erik and you make a good point. Thanks for your sharing your thoughts

[@mtreadwell01]

Thanks for share. Learned something!

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Glad it was helpful!

[@miguelalgarra3285]

Hello, nice video. I like photo nr 2 best

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your choice.

[@SIMONB1]

Hey up Richard, great technique and them results are really good, thanks for sharing, ride safe, Simon B 😎

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Thanks Simon. Really appreciate your support. Hope you’re back in action soon.

[@monochromebluess]

What number of ND filter did you use please. Enjoyable video.

[@erich1505]

At around the 3:30 mark he said 13 stops using a combination of a #10 and a #3.

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

On one shot I used a 13 stop and for the other a 16 stop. In both cases it was two filters combined together (10 +3 and 10+6).

[@monochromebluess]

Thanks to you both. ND filters are new to me so I learning their mysterious magic slowly.

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

So glad you're enjoying the journey with ND filters! Keep experimenting and have fun capturing those stunning shots!

[@brancan]

Wow, those are awesome shots! Thanks for the video, learned something new as well :)

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Awesome, thanks for watching! I'm happy you found it interesting and learned something new from it!

[@lucschoonjans4540]

Thank you for sharing the technique for these pictures. The second picture is the best composition in my opinion. Also, for the 1st one, would you consider using the gen AI features in photoshop to remove the lamp post? It is smack in the middle of your frame and a tad distracting. Just a thought.

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I did consider removing the lamp post and i agree it’s not helping the composition. The main reason I didn’t is because there is some lettering on the building- the name of the apartment block and photoshop would have struggled to put in a letter. I could put this in as text of course and try to match the other letters . - now you have got me thinking! Maybe i will give a go. 😅

[@keithsaint8829]

Or maybe you could just remove all the lettering It’s a fine art image so anything goes Striking building and nice processing. The blue sky helps create a nice contrast and makes it stand out

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

@@keithsaint8829 Thanks for the comment! Yeah, the blue sky really makes it pop, and that's a good solution for dealing with the lettering. It's always interesting to get another perspective

[@KGeorge-1]

Audio sucked but the pics were great!

[@NiftyFiftyPhotographers]

Thanks for the feedback, good to know you liked the pics! I am always keen to improve the quality of the videos. What didn't you like about the audio? Was it the quality of the recording or something else?
