Hi Larry
Many thanks for the review and suggestions. Please note that I also submit my images in FIP /PSA salons , so for this i do not add or remove elements usually from my images , and limit my editing to minimal as these are the requirements of street/Nature /Photo journalism categories. So for this image too I did not heal or remove any portion of the image.
I totally agree with you about the Blue shirt man , he is kind of a show stealer , I would love to go back and click it with the suggestions you have given, The motion blur of humans would be an awesome feature of the image if its clicked . But also remember that I have shot this handheld , hence i couldnt go any further on Aperture as then i would need more exposure time and then shake would be introduced. so for this particular image i had to balance between shutter and Aperture.I could have upped the ISO to get it , but honestly I did not try it then, as this one came out well in my opinion , also the scene is very dynamic one with lot of movement of vehicles and people . Also I had to catch back train to my home before the rush hour. So i did not stop for long .
About the barricades , i will try the same with wide angle lens or as Ruth suggested a Panaroma shot . Point to note is since its a very busy street & the terminal being an Protected site not to mention a top item on Anti Social elements hit list , cops do not allow any one to Ponder for long anywhere near it . Photography with tripod is next to impossible as it is not allowed there. So if i need to get the structure in centre of my frame I need to stand on the busy street to click . And that can happen only between the traffic RED signal when the vehicles are stopped. But then Street walking people who need to cross over are always coming in our way or will trip over the tripod , hence the tripod during this Golden/Blue hour is impossible to get.
I will however keep trying to get it right. As it is an one of the most photographed structures in Mumbai. And I want to frame one of my photos of it in my living room.
I truly appreciate the time and thought you have put in to write about it . Please do keep commenting and adding to my knowledge
Regards

Thanks Ruth , I do panaroma's from time to time . But for this image it would not have been a perfect solution cause the vehicles were moving fast and PS or any other software would not stitch it properly as they use pixel matching alogarithms , and the sw would have not found identical pixels in the same part of the frame so it would have done a bad job of sitching with lot of ghosting. However its a good thought , i will definately try it next time i am out. |

Thanks Andrew .
I will definately try the crop you suggested . But busy people and vehicles is an intricate part of my city . I had included the people in the frame on purpose as their movement and vehicle movement in the fame was my intent. cause i was shooting long exposure. I wanted to capture the stillness and the life long stability ( Building ) And the Perpetuality and dynamic nature of a busy city life ( Vehicles and People) in a single frame. |

Hi Ruth,
Thanks for the review and appreciation , I wnated to to include the people in foreground, but i agree about the metal barricades , however I also wanted to to fit the entire building in the frame So I had to go back to fit it in my lens, and the widest focal lenght of my camera was 24mm . If I had my other camera with changeable lens , i would have used my 11mm and would have tried taking the shot ahead of the metal barricades.Maybe Next time I shall carry that and click .
The People in the foreground are important part of the image cause its part of the story as this junction is the most busiest. only now during the COVID situation its possible to click this junction without people . Otherwise in entire 200 odd years of Mumbai history this junction always has people and vehicles moving 24x7 . As they say for my city " City never sleeps" its true in literal sense. My City never sleeps. And esp this place cause this is the Train terminal , for local and out station trains. So even in late nights ot early mornings you will find this street alive with people and vehicles.
Only now cause of the COVID situation its possible to click this place without people or vehicles , but sadly i cant do now and click . Had I been a Press reporter I could have done it with my Press card |

What an Awesome capture , the anxiety and eagerness is quiet visible in the eyes of the young birds , as they await one of the parent to bring back food for them.
I agree with what Ruth has suggested about the reduction of highlights on the tree trunk . I have tried my hand at the same and am attaching my edited version herewith . Here I have used a technique called as "Luminosity Mask" which helps us select and edit only a specific targeted luminos area in the selection . To know more about it you may visit the link below

I too have learnt this amazing technique few months back and I find myself using it very often in all of my High Dynamic range images. I hope this Helps.
However your image still is very stunning and amazing capture.
Be safe and happy clicking. |
