02 ferris wheel dublin

[never2old2learn]

Hi All,
New to the forum and this is my first posting. CC welcome.
Taken as part of an organised Dusk Shoot by the Institute of Photography Dublin.
at the 02 Point Complex at Dublin Docklands

First off. I like the shot.

However, you need to provide the EXIF data as well and an idea of what you are trying to learn from the photo.

The building seems slightly out of focus and the Ferris Wheel seems a bit too centered IMHO. It looks like simply cropping slightly on the left side would move it from dead center (perhaps just short of the lightpost on the left.

I would also crop the top a bit to move the Ferris Wheel into the upper third. It seems that the photo subject is dead center both vertically and horizontally.

Hi Trankonia,
Many thanks for comments and suggestions, much appreciated.
Yes some cropping would improve the image and get Ferris wheel off centre etc.
The exercise was to blur the motion of the wheel.
Not sure how to include exif data, do you have to enter these manually
or is there some way of including the data.

Regards

I am planning to take something like this since a long time now..... .I went out for tralining lights but that was just proof of concept and the place where i tood was not that awesome so didnt had much of capture...but after seeing this image , i am going this eve after office for capturing tralining lights for sure...... and I agree "never 2 old 2 learn"

Hi Ritewinger,
May I ask how and where do I look to extract the exif data. Is it one the programs available that show the data.( I have a copy of Photome Exif Data ).

Many Thanks

Hi Flyfort,
Thanks for comments, glad you liked my effort, hopefully some help to you especially as the Exif data was displayed by Ritewinger. I had other photos from the same session taken when scene much darker and it was suggested to me from another forum that one with a bit of detail in the sky was best.

Most modern programs read this data and display it in an easily readable format. Lightroom displays the data on the right hand side in the "Library" .

However you don't even need to go that far, you can get this information via Windows (Or at least Windows 7) Right click on the saved file, and click on "Properties". In the properties you'll see a "Settings" tab that displays this infromation.

Thanks SwissJon for further comments on the Exif Data.
I'm using Elements8 and can see the Exif data in the properties pop-up window .
I can also see the data in Windows. None appear to allow copy and paste.

D'oh.. Well if you insist on doing things the easy way, try this little free program, you can use the "Text Output" and copy and paste. Thanks for asking.. It's made me go looking, I was using my fingers and thumbs to transfer EXIF before.
