Lincoln Sunrise
 

I visited Lincoln this weekend, I wanted to shoot the grandstand with a beautiful sunrise. This is the first time ive had chance to use my nd grads and only a little tinkering was applied in Lightroom. My intention was to capture and keep the sky as I saw it, I'm quite pleased with the outcome. Please let me know what you think.

Thank you
Mark

I think you've done a great job with the skies, they look well exposed.
To my eye the buildings/trees and other subject matter looks a bit dark.
Generally speaking I like your compositon, but the second one down, the building is clipped off on the right and the legs of the picnic table have been chopped off. Minor points, but they may help with the oval image of the photo.
I'm certainly no expert so these are just my observations.

Thank you Jediboy, I really do like the skies in these. The second image I couldn't get the shot I wanted because there were some caravans in the carpark and the legs on the bench pops I did it again :D

A bit of lightening as said, and the verticals made vertical, particularly, the rear view, with railings.Ed.

Thank you Ed, I have already straightened the rear view so as the building is plumb I cant seem to do much about the lighting without adding lots of noise, I guess thats where a flash would come in handy

Thanks Mark

If you can open in Camera Raw, adjust there, what software do you have. Ed.

Thank you Ed, I have lightroom and elements 7, I adjusted the vertical but left the horizontals alone because thats what I wanted to shoot
