Coming in to Dock

As night closes in, the I-929 comes in to dock.

Information on the shot is in the thread:

It's very good. I like the angle of the airship, the hint of clouds and the building. Lovely green.

Thanks, Rob

This fotie as well as the others in the series fascinates me because although I am liking each fotie for different reasons I find myself a little dissatisfied with each. (Apologies if you're not looking for critique in this, Pedro.) I feel like I want the light on I929 to be coming from below as if cast by a ground based spotlight, which I think you were looking to do maybe anyway, and that the brightness be reduced on the airship and increased a little on the buildings.

Exactly my thoughts, Brian - and I'm always happy for comments and critique even though I never tick the option. I have done one shot in which I bounced light up from below using a mirror at 45º to the spotlight, but it was't overly successful. I would need to re-mount the spot on a lower stand to get it physically low enough otherwise (which I intend) and use a different light for the background.

Well hurry up then...!
