1. JJ's image doesn't capture anything like the dynamic range that mine does (I used about 5 exposures). You can probably see that on his image, the red channel is blown, causing the most brightly lit areas to appear almost white (not good). And also the sky: the point of waiting for blue hour is to maximise contrast, and the sky on that image is practically white (possibly even blown).
2. It also fails to utilise the reflective capacity of the pond, mainly because he didn't wait longer for more contrast
3. JJ's image suffers from lens distortion, as you can see by the horizontal line at the bottom
4. And finally, it hasn't been perspective corrected as far as I can see
In short, I wouldn't have bothered photographing parliament house if there was a technically perfect photograph here already :) -- Thennicke (talk) 06:09, 12 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
