  •   Question - Why this one and not File:Parliament House Canberra NS.jpg, would you say? -- PhilipTerryGraham (talk) 03:12, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • @PhilipTerryGraham: There are a few unfixable problems with File:Parliament House Canberra NS.jpg:
  • 1. JJ's image doesn't capture anything like the dynamic range that mine does (I used about 5 exposures). You can probably see that on his image, the red channel is blown, causing the most brightly lit areas to appear almost white (not good). And also the sky: the point of waiting for blue hour is to maximise contrast, and the sky on that image is practically white (possibly even blown).
  • 2. It also fails to utilise the reflective capacity of the pond, mainly because he didn't wait longer for more contrast
  • 3. JJ's image suffers from lens distortion, as you can see by the horizontal line at the bottom
  • 4. And finally, it hasn't been perspective corrected as far as I can see

In short, I wouldn't have bothered photographing parliament house if there was a technically perfect photograph here already :) -- Thennicke (talk) 06:09, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
