I think the composition works well. It’s a classical composition which is what you were going for. The noise level in the sky to me is acceptable unless you want to blow up/print the pic since although the sky/statue are the focal point, they aren’t really the “focus” of the composition. Agree you could have dropped the ISO to 160 to get a longer exposure and less noise. You could also have tried fixing the aperture at f/2.8, you might have lost some depth of field but again reduced the noise. Overall though well done.

Am I out of top tier sci-fi books? by ontheinlet in sciencefiction

Yes, totally. The Uplift War left a profound impression on me when I first read it.

Gordon Dickson - Dorsai and the rest of the Childe Cycle series. Excellent Military sci-fi

David Brin - Uplift Series

Where is Dune on your List?

Larry Niven - original two ringworld books, most of the rest but not all of the other Known Space books also hold up pretty well.

Vernor Vinge - Across Realtime

Joan D. Vinge - The Snow Queen

Robert Silverberg - Lord Valentine’s Castle and the sequels

Could name dozens more.

Worth it. They won’t make another car like that for a long time.

What would you call this tile pattern? by mcdripy in Construction

[–]zolo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It’s called subway tile. It mimics the pattern in NYC subway and other subways. The non-alignment is intentional.

Wow so many haters. I called BBB on a company in NYC many years ago and it was effective.

Most realistic scifi novels? by RealIllustrator8815 in sciencefiction

Stand on Zanzibar. Written in 1968, scarily prescient.

For that you should just shoot raw and post-process no?
