  • Really interesting perspective! It’s a great choice of location and subjects. You clearly have an eye for what’s pretty out there in the world.

    As for a critique that could improve your future photography:

    It’s a bit blurry. Since you had a relatively still scene I’d say next time take the time to drop your f-stop to maybe 4.0 and raise your shutter speed the same number of major f-stops to compensate (ie. 8.0 -> 5.6 -> 4.0 goes 1/125 -> 1/250 -> 1/500). This will keep your exposure about the same as 9.0 and 1/125 while increasing the separation between your focus and the background. It will also compensate for any camera shake while taking the shot. 1/500 or higher is particularly good for this.

    If the intent was to show the divide between the water and the town it also couldn’t hurt to rotate a bit to the right. There’s a good deal of busy background in the left side of the photo and not only a bit of the town.

    If the intent is to capture the black boat then it would make sense to get a little closer. A longer focal length like 85mm would also be great here.
