I also did this in B&W, but think colour works better

I've been taking photos at some of the pinball tournaments I compete in. Recently I picked up a mist filter and I'm loving the effect it gives to the glow of all the lights.

I was walking my dog when I saw this luftballoon floating in the summer sky. I quickly snapped a photo, but the exposure was off.
I must have 99 edits of this horizon by now, and this is the best I was able to get out of it.

On a serious note, have you pondered the effects of cropping most of that landmass off the bottom since there's not a lot of detail in the shadow. Like, maybe just a very brief horizon line, then all sky.

Are you using a tilt focus lens for this? It's got major 'tiny model city' vibes. Excellent shot.

Comically enough that's one of the first things I tried, and you're right that it works better.


But then I got kind of sidetracked by the thought of making a trio of portrait orientation photos with emphasis on one RGB color each.
Basically I got too caught up in whether I could, without considering whether I should. And then I crowned it with a stupid joke post Nena reference. :v:

Yea there we go. That's about the exact crop I made when I dropped your photo into PS a minute ago.

I also did a b/w version to see if it might work that way. Editing a small jpg is like pulling teeth so ignore the banding.

Edit: to me, the key for the foreground land is that you get those three different shades of lightness on the mountains. Darker up front, mid lightness in the middle, light at the far mountain. Color or b/w, I think as long as you get those three grades lit properly, you don't need much land up front in the image. The fading mountains show depth.

Cool, thanks. I was trying my darndest to get the shading more pronounced, but just couldn't get rid of a blue tint to it without ruining the rest of the colors. I recently upgraded to capture one pro and there's so many tools I don't know how to use properly.

B&W probably is the way to go for this one.

I think you nailed the shading here in this one. Bringing that white point up is a good trick.
