Salzburg At Night

Av:F/2.7; Tv:1/4s; f:6mm(35mm-equiv: 38mm)

I shot this snap just past dusk when I was strolling along the Salzch river in Salzburg. The scenery was too good to miss – the shops along the riverfront, the reflection of lights in the river, the not-so-dark sky.

I liked the coverage and framing of this photograph – right from the castle overlooking the city, down to the bridges crossing the river – it’s all well-positioned.

What I do not like about this particular shot is the absence of sharpness. A quarter second shutter speed was a mistake – I should have gone for at least a tenth of a second and used ISO 200. I don’t think the ISO noise would be pronounced in this photo because of the reflections in the water (which would have hidden the noise).

This was shot in a park in Salzburg, Austria. The sun was out but it was really cold. I liked the geometry of the scene (parallel lines of trees and the parallel shadows being cast).

I think however that this snap could have done with some cropping to remove the irrelevant portions to the extreme left; I did try it once but then decided to stick to the original. Secondly, I reproduced the original picture here; although in hindsight I think some post-processing might have helped in beautifying it up a little.

I did try desaturating this snap and the results were good; but again, I wanted to showcase the vibrant greens of the lawn and hence decided to put up this one instead.
