So which photo do you prefer? I can’t seem to make up my mind about which one of the two photos below that I like better so I’m going to put this as a vote to you, the readers. Both of these photos were taken this evening actually, but at different times. The main difference between the two photos is that the photo on the left, which I shall now refer to as photo # 1, was taken about 5 minutes before photo # 2 on the right.
The difference in colors that you see between the two photos is because of the setting sun and this time frame difference. This gave photo # 2 a more saturated and vivid look with it’s colors whereas photo # 1 has a more pastel/water color look to it. I should also mention that the foreground in photo # 2 is brighter and has more detail compared to photo # 1 because someone had setup an automatic flood light in their back yard that acted as a really good fill light for the foreground in photo # 2. You might also notice that the framing is slightly different as I had zoomed in a bit more in photo # 2 while I was trying different compositions.
Personally I like them both equally; however I can only pick one for my upcoming press photo book and will most likely only pick one out of the two to frame and place on the market for sale. So which do you prefer?
I like the one in the right. There’s more effect & I love the colors!
Can you marry the two? I like the bottom half of photo #1 and top half of photo #2. Press book??
Fina: Thanks!
Nara: I could probably do that. Whether it will all blend together and look right might be a different story. Thanks for the idea though, I’ll try it here later and see how it all comes out.
I like the one on the right as well! The colors seem more rich in that one.
