Hi, I just want to share this shot from yesterday. C&C would be appreciated. I'm especially interested in what you think about the blown highlights. Cheers.

Abel,

I think that the blown highlights have somewhat degraded what could have been a beautiful image.

I guess the other problem (more with the concept than the image) is without a point of reference it is difficult to determine the difference between a "midnight" sun and a sunrise/sunset.

Hi Asaroha

The highlights are definitely blown - well and truely!

I would image the scene would have been absolutely spectacular to see visually.

Capturing spectacular scenes by camera is very difficult because the camera reduces the scene size. I think the only way to display panoramic scenes is to display them on the largest viewing screen possible.

The cold landscapes and warm sunlight interplay very well in your photograph.

Well done!

Cheers

Graham

IMHO and take this for what its worth from someone who's been doing this for 5 minutes, but the blown highlights detract from the rest of the picture as my attention is drawn towards it not the rest of the view.

Obviously others may have a different view.

I agree with the others - Maybe try cropping the top off just above the long grey cloud - hopefully that would put the focus back on the sunlight rather than the blown sky.

Abel, I like what you are trying to achieve here. Perhaps try a different exposure or a polarising filter may work. Try again tonight

Cheers, Mick
