Portland at night
I went out on my second adventure shooting night scenes in Portland. Funny thing about night shooting I enjoyed is the forced slow down. Each shot takes time and causes me to slow down and look at what I am shooting rather than fire off numbers hoping for one that works!
Here are some examples:






Thanks for looking,

Can you please stack the photos vertically for ease of viewing?

1) maybe it's my eyes, but the reflections are at a different angle and that gives the impression that the horizon is not straight.
2) I don't like that black band of the shoreline, it's like a black hole - i'd try cropping just the tent.
3) pity about the pillar and the odd flare(?) in the sky.

my stuff is here.....
if I may:
your vertical looks a little off on most of them which, if corrected, might correct the horizontal some-
if you're using ps, you can go to view>show>grid and then crop and use the bowed arrows outside the crop to turn the pic and use the grid for guidelines-
did you shoot in raw (the photos, that is)-color balance could stand a little correction, if possible; some pics are too yellow-
can you lose the tree in the first one and the post in the third?-
don't get me wrong; I really like your shots-
nice job-

- Click on a spot where the water meets the shore.
- Drag to another spot in the photo where the water meets the shore.
- Release.
- Now, (working from memory here as I'm at work) Image -> Rotate -> Arbitrary Amount. The amount to rotate the image is automagically filled in for you based on the angle between your measure tool line and the horizontal.
- Click OK and watch the magic
This also works for getting verticals, well, vertical. For example, draw the line along the side of a building, vertically. Do the arbitrary rotation thing. The amount is, again, automagically filled in for you, only now it's the difference between your line and vertical. Cool stuff.My Photos
