Train vs Crane

[fotugraphy]

Hi, going forward on my photography venture I stopped and clicked another shot. Can you please review it and let me know what exactly is missing for it to make it much better?

It was shot in Railway Museum, New Delhi using my new lens Tokina 11-16mm.

Thank You

Hi Raj,

I have just bought a UWA lens too - great fun!

One thing I find invaluable is a hot shoe spirit level (3 axis) so when I shoot, I can keep the shot level in terms of rotation around lens and front of lens being up or down - except when I creatively decide not to!

Here I think you need a slight counter clockwise rotation to level it - although it really doesn't matter too much on this particular subject, I thought I'd mention it.

HTH,

I love this photo. The colors are beautiful. I don't think anything is missing, however I find myself wishing I didn't see so much sky. I'd like to see the same shot but maybe taken closer to ground level so the trains fill the frame a little more. Not sure it would make it any better though. Well done!

Great use of that lens. Love the shot and the processing.

Thanks a lot for your valuable review & it's been really long time you hav'nt written a review for my image I expected a review from your side and i got it

New UWA lens is really great and enjoying each and every bit of it. I will surely try to rotate the image as suggested.

Thanks for the review & appreciation. Initially I tried to click by going low too as suggested but then i was loosing the leading perspective of the crane and path became the dominant factor.

To get this shot, i was standing on my toe fingers and my friend was holding me to balance me. lol a painful experience

Will visit this place next week... and then i will surely click a low shot and will try to frame it as suggested.

Raj,

I am surprised no one else has said it, but would a little human interest produce a focal point, maybe an engineer walking away between the trains in the distance?

I realise that may not be possible in a museum, but my eye is searching for that 'something extra' to focus on in the distance. If not a person, a dog, cat, or anything that brings a bit of life in there?

Now you know what's missing

I got carried away with the technicalities of using the lens and the trains themselves (doh!)

The engineer idea is good if possible, but I could also imagine a cat curled up asleep on the crane decking

Thanks Ian.

Cheers,

Thanks for your valuable review and suggestion. Will be going there again in few days, i really like this perspective. Will try to shoot it again with little different frame and will add human element in it. On weekends museum is full of people, i may get a human element in the path for sure

Thanks for your suggestion Really nice idea about the cat lol. I have already ordered a "Gas Mask" & "Joker Mask" to get my friend wearing these mask where ever possible to add a human element in my images (sometimes i can shoot him without masks showing his back). As i learnt that human element is a strong element in an image if used correctly. Don't know why i'm fascinated with the gas mask portraits. May be our city is a bit polluted and it can send a good msg of toxicity in the images.

Don't know if Adding masked human is good or bad as i have no experience with it?

I wasn't thinking of anything like that, but it works well for this guy:-

even if he does overdo the HDR look at times.
