About the Image(s)

The Peterson Auto Museum - an architectural gem - in LA. Shot with hand-held camera from behind the car wheel. Used Sony Cubershot 30x camera (@ about 10X); exposure details not recorded. A slightly blurred moon from a sharp moon-shot (with "blur" filter in PS6) was for effect and to break the negative space.

Nice shot considering your shooting situation, and a great subject.
The blue space is so small I don't think it needs to be broken up; in fact, I find the moon distrating. Scientific note--a full moon is only visible at night, so this doesn't fit in a realistic shot.   Posted: 06/04/2018 14:04:05

Thank you Stephen for taking the time to make thoughtful comments. You have made a good case why I do not need the moon.

Hi Stephen:
The two attachments were left out- sending again.

As for your "scientific note" I have questions; I have seen moon on rare occasions during early & late daytime, it is a pale moon on the horizon ---you may visit two of several links below:

I am the administrator of group 48 and enjoy looking at all the images. Hope you don't mind a comment. I love the image but don't like the traffic light so with a few content aware strokes I put it to bed. I wonder what you think.   Posted: 06/08/2018 19:55:18

Hello Beverly:
Thank you. The fact that you liked the image enough to spend your time to make it more appealing to you pleases me. What do I think? Great Job! Clearly it is " cleaner" than my original; it also reminds me of Don Quixote saying : " To each his Dulcinea "!   Posted: 06/08/2018 22:45:59

I find this image fascinating. I like the array of lines and colours in the building. I find the crop on the bottom a bit tight and would appreciate seeing all of the standing man. In my opinion the image would be just as strong without the moon.   Posted: 06/09/2018 16:11:28

You certainly have chosen a marvelous subject here ! Although it would be a tedious job , I think the image would be better if the traffic and lights were clone away.   Posted: 06/14/2018 14:38:50

Hi Snehendu and friends in Group 08. What a coincident. I have similar object (Car Museum) posted in my Group 70. One of my group friends referred me to see your post. Frans Gunterus   Posted: 06/17/2018 23:08:12

I am from Group 16 & 68. I liked the pattern in your image. To me, the dark area of the signal light on left top and the full moon are distractions. You said exposure details not recorded. But it is available in your image. Please see the properties. The details are as follows.
Camera : Sony; Model: DSC-HX90V; F-stop: f/4.5; Exposure time: 1/400 sec; ISO speed: ISO-80; Focal length: 12mm; Metering mode: Pattern; Flash: No flash.   Posted: 06/19/2018 15:20:11

Very interesting building and the red, white and blue colors are classic! The little man in the foreground is an attractive feature as it give a sense of scale to the building. The moon draws my eye and is a distraction.   Posted: 06/20/2018 04:52:25



 
Thank you Dr. Nair---I was not aware that my point-and-shoot camera retains exposure data on the images. Also agree with several of you and removed the moon and distracting lampposts etc... from the image in the revised version.   Posted: 06/24/2018 21:21:41

Thank you Frans.... I liked your rendition of the museum that highlights the lighting effects of the building .. while my version presents on the structural details in a daylight view.   Posted: 06/24/2018 21:27:21

I like your original image (except for the moon - see below). I think the traffic lights are necessary to add context to the cars at the bottom of the image, which otherwise stands out as a jarring note in the edited images. The traffic lights also provide some "broken symmetry" to relieve the tension of the repetitive wavy lines. As for the moon, I cannot put my finger on it, but something between its texture and that of the background sky seems out of place to me. What time did you shoot the main image? I would guess it was in full daylight, whereas the moon seems to be a twilight image.   Posted: 06/26/2018 07:07:03
