Artist's Comments

This is my first try at a landscape with my new camera and it's my first ever long exposure at night.

I think I picked a pretty challenging subject for my first attempt. It's the Zagreb Avenue. If you'll ever be visiting Zagreb and you happen to be coming from the West, this is the road you'll be driving on.

I have to say, the picture is pretty different from what I imagined it to be when the idea first came to my mind. I think a wider lens would have done this picture more justice but I only have my 18-135 so...

The flowers in the middle are really something you don't see on a lot of highways so I tried to focus the concept on them.

Anyways, I'm anxious to hear any comments and especially criticism! Is there anything you think I should have done differently? Be honest, I'm trying to learn here :-)

By the way, I personally think this picture rocks just the way it is :-D

I love how the traffic lights turned out. The color is great on my LCD, hope it looks good on regular monitors too. I don't have a remote trigger so I used the timer set to 5 seconds. It was very difficult to time it just right when there was traffic going both ways. It was Sunday evening so there wasn't that much traffic anyway.

___________________

There was a lot of post work with the colors. No manipulation, this is how it looks like in real life. But the lamps on the highway have yellow lights and that really killed any white balance measuring in my camera. So I had to level out different sections to get it back to normal.

najs...vidim photoshop je radio ;)
sviđa mi se što si fokus stavio na cvijeće jer iskreno i meni je bilo čisto iznenađenje vidjet tolko istog duž autoceste...svjetla su mi skroz kul :)

Very nice. Duga ekspozicija je uvijek dobra ideja! Boje su prekrasne, stvarno su odlično ipale! Stvarno jako dobro! Brijem da si se fakat namučio dok si ulovio promet s obje strane.

Jedan prijedlog samo, nista veliko ali: fotka je jako simetrična i to je uvijek dobro, poželjno dapače. Osim, na lijevoj strani, između cvijeća i ceste, na travi je neki sivi poklopac koji malo narušava simetričnost. Ali to je sitnica, koncept fotke je odličan, tema vrlo "green" što je u ovo doba moderno. Tehnika, kao i uvijek, besprijekorna. Good job!

e, jebiga sad, ti ga isto nadjes :-D

ali svidja mi se sivi poklopac. dobro je da razbija simetricnost. i dodaje na realnosti. uostalom, na desnoj strani u pozadini se vidi i zgrada sto mi isto pase, a mogao sam je maknuti. razmisljao sam o tom poklopcu jos dok sam slikao. mislim da mi je ok.
