Hi again Ajith,

I'd like to know the EXIF data for these.

They all look nice in they're own right, but having several of the same view with different WB is a bit distracting - meaning I can't make up my mind which I like best

Cheers,

nice pics..I am not sure which is my fav..1 or 2...

[GillR]

Terrific shots! I prefer #2 to #1, just because I've seen that exact scene, and fell in love with it

I love San Franciso, must go back again soon

Fantastic photo's Ajith, I like the way you have played around with the WB.

Wonderful pictures, Ajith. 2 and 3 are my favorites,

Ajith,

All of these are nice pictures. The first two have a nice silk feeling on the water.
The last three are very sharp, which sometimes I have a difficulty to achieve.

I agree with Dave, it would be better to provide EXIF data for these shots. For me, I like to know your exposure times for the first 2 pictures, and focal lengths for the last three.

Hi Yan,
I forgot to add some more details ..For shutter release I use the mirror-up option and while post processing I add 30% sharpness, also crop the pics a bit... hope I answered your questions.

Ajith,

Those are pretty sharp and beautiful pictures. I think I like #2 more than #1.

#1 seems to be a little too "warm" , but hey that's just me. The other shots of City Hall are just fantastically (if that's even a word) sharp.

Thanks for sharing!
