Different reflections Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is the same mosque of which I posted a picture yesterday – the Sultan Omar Ali Saifuddien mosque in Bandar Seri Begawan – but from a different perspective and time of the day. This was taken just as dawn was breaking this morning, from a POV that was about 50 metres further around the mosque in a clockwise direction from the position from which I took the night shot last night.

Again, I took this without a tripod, resting the camera on a fence, and it is therefore a little noisy from the sharpening, but as I don’t have any noise reduction software on my laptop, I can’t fix that until I get home. This was taken with ISO at 200, focal length was 13 mm and I cropped a bit on all four sides.

Yes, those reflections are great. With a bit of noise fixing it will be crystal clear and im gonna add it to my favourites anyway!

Hi David - the noise is very negligible, if you hadn't stated it in your note, I would not have noticed it. The colours and reflections are simply superb, excellent timing and pov.

Beautiful reflections. I also love the color of the sky. Maybe including a black frame would increase the impact of the colors in the picture. Regards, Yvonne
