Smoke over Miami Photo

Photographer’s Note

Yes. I know. It lacks definition, but this is one of my first shots back in April when I had just bought my new camera. For the last few months, I have not had time to go out to party or simply hang out with friends, let alone take photos. Our memorial weekend photography plans were ruined as well due to the rain.

Hi Maryori,
This is absolutely stunning. Amazing how you could manage just the right amount of light where needed yet retain the gorgeous night shot with reflections. Well done and TFS. Gerald

hi Maryori

Despite being taken a year ago, this is a good long exposure shot of the city skyline at night. I am surprised at the good liminosity you have captured especially on the white patch of clouds hanging over the tall buildings.

Good work. But you really need more shooting to keep the interest going.

tfs, bill

Hi Maryori, it is difficult to shot a night scene with a compact camera but this one is impressive for such a small size device. A white cloud at night is the killing component here. Congratulations, Tolga

Hi Colombiana. Vivid creation from you. Fascinating effects created by the light and all those bright colours.Nice balance with the tufts of grass being lit up. Regards. Klaudio.

Hi Maryori,
the cloud is eyecatching and the sight is marvellous. What you need is a tripod and to close the aperture at least to f/11. Then you have sharpness, a longer exposure (maybe 20 sec.) and a silky water surface.
Best wishes, Chris

Hello Maryori,
well chosen POV to capture this good nightshot with beautiful light management especially on the whit cloud over the Miami skyline. I would highly recommend to follow Chris' tips. He already pointed you in the right direction. The lack of sharpness can't either destroy the beauty of this place or the wonderful light, but it hindered a real masterpiece.
Best wishes,
Helmut
