Photographer’s Note

this is my first photo here you guys so be kind and gentle!! taken it from the deck of our apartment in Vancouver with a very sad Pentax camera, as you can probably tell. however for me this shot symbolizes the mixture of sadness and hope i felt that day.

Am I the first to comment? Welcome! You made a good coice posing this pic as your first. Very good motive and contrast colours. I do not feel your sadness but a joy from a magic sky!

Hi Nihal, welcome to TE. Very nice effect you got from this against the light cityscape, the camera doesn't seem sad at all. A small point for future postings. This si very small. We're allowed to go up to 800 pixels. Not usually any point not using them.

I think even a "sad" 35 mm camera gives a big difference compared to a fancy digital camera , your photo has a very artistic and melancholic feeling and I think that's because of the old school technology and your eyes: very good timing and good composition. Welcome to TE Nihal

a bit small, but this looks great because of the multiple levels of sihouettes. like it.
thanks, Arnab

your idea is appreciable Nikki. showing the entire downtown in silhoutte is a fantastic idea. the sunlight may be a bit more to make this less attractive. Also, the picture is small. care to use all 800 X 600 pixels allowed?

Cheers
