Hi Ganesh,

A bit too hazy and the greenish hue is a bit otherworldly. This would work better if taken after sunset when the lights are on. Nice effort.

got your point John. thanks for the tips and feedback

As John said, lose the colour tint. Then possibly a slight increase to the highlights and I suspect everything will look good here. Although that out of focus area in the bottom left corner would concern me, so I would crop it out and accept a slight loss to the size of the town.

I agree with John and Geoff's comments.When I saw your pic, I wondered if that was the color over the city for some reason? I'd rather see it a bit clearer so I could see the detail better? It is a very interesting picture! I've enjoyed looking at it.

it was foggy and hence the sky wasn't clear enough. color over the city - as a result of post processing i think - i should have paid more attention there. thanks for feedback sandy

I think the merging of 8 shots to produce this pano view was very well done. With a bit if extra processing on the colour and a crop on the left you will have an excellent shot!

#1 : weekending 27th Aug

trying to improve Indoor photographing skill. took these in Canterbury Cathedral. Not able to get enough light.

i felt too much grains and not enough light. not sure what is missing and what more to improve.

please review and share your valuable feedback and comments to improve

(a) vertical - ISO 5000 - f5.6 - 1/60 at 24mm



(b) horizontal - ISO 6400 - f5.6 - 1/60 at 24mm

Ganesh, I enjoyed seeing the inside of Canterbury Cathedral.

I'll focus on one comment. This sort of inside photography benefits greatly from a tripod. The immediate benefit is that it would allow you to have a long exposure. This would allow you to use ISO 100 and an aperture of perhaps f8 or f11. Having a low ISO would help solve the noise/graininess issue you identified.

There's another benefit from a long exposure. If an exposure is long enough and a person walks across your field of view, they won't show up. I'm not sure how long the exposure would have to be in order for people to be invisible. Perhaps someone else will comment on this point.

I liked the panoramic shot except for that green tint
In the interior image, i think the inclusion of a person, who had more than 50% left the frame is much disturbing the subject, i feel

Your church pic is interesting and makes a good one to keep for a memory jogger but you are right, there is too much graininess. If you get the chance to try again, the tripod would definitely be a benefit as Bruce suggested. Having people on one side messes up the symmetry of the pic for me - it doesn't seem balanced. I really like the tones of tans and the stain glass windows. It is definitely a beautiful church! For me, it would definitely be a difficult photo to try and capture. I don't think I have the ability yet to do a decent job of it. I admire you giving it a try! Well done!

thanks sandy
