My last image showing soft and sharp together. I wanted to show a hint of sun set, but I didn't want the sun being the main focus, I wanted that to be on the trees. I had to position the camera to shoot just above the sun.
Cardiff Station, late evening. There was no editing in this image. The sun setting left a pink tone, and the glare through the camera lens enhanced it. I feel the composition worked well to my advantage. The small handful of people, waiting and reading, I find it makes the viewer feel peaceful and relaxed. The only thing that ruins it for me us the lights in the shelter. I think without those, the image would be perfect.
Sun set in Venice, photographed from water taxi. This image was very difficult to capture, and I had managed to take it just in time. I think the whole image gives a peaceful atmosphere, which is very deceiving, as when I took the photo I was far from peaceful. The thunder from the water taxi's engine was loud enough to block out thought, and the temperature felt below freezing. A deceitful image that seems serene, that was taken in a form of chaos.
