I found these in my file. This was taken at Harbour Square weeks ago and as I was there earlier, I chanced upon a group of people in their Dragon Boats.


I played around with colors for this one last night. I thought I would do a pastel theme.

Nice set. I like the first one. :)

is the vignetting was purposely done? love your set of pics

i like the second one. as elvin asked, was the vignetting intentional?

Great Shots, Mr. PARC. Inspiring!

Thanks guys!

Yup the vignetting is intentional. I was told by one fellow member here (Gabriel) of what it represents :). I learned from him that its a problem of cheaper lenses. But I am very used to adding it on my photos. I just like to have that feel, for me it adds depth and character. I'm sure not everyone will agree or like it.

Parc, loved the second pic the most :) Thanks for sharing. :)

I like the second one too :) IMHO, depending on a particular subject, vignetting can be effective to dramatize the photograph. More about vignetting here (http://photonotes.org/cgi-bin/entry.pl?id=Vignetting)

From what I've read, vignetting is usually found on wide lenses. Even the expensive lenses like the Canon 14L and the Voightlander 12mm (http://robertdfeinman.com/tips/tip21.html) are not free from vignetting, especially wide open.
