Shot on OnePlus 3. Long exposure, low iso shots taken at night. Edited in polarr. [Update: On request, I have replaced the original image which was partly edited in Gimp to one that was completely built in polarr. Thanks JillyG ]

Low exposure, hand held shot at high iso. Needs some work in gimp I think, especially with the moon. Some straightening might be necessary too.

I wish the moon was a little more to the right.

Let me know what you think. Have a lot to learn.

Hi there, I really like the first one, great colours, even though I'm guessing its slightly unreal maybe.
Always good to see another Android user on this forum :thumbs:

I'd also suggest introduce yourself over at the 'Welcome' forum and you'll get people saying Hi and offering advice.

Thank you for comments. You'd be surprised to know that the sky actually had an orangish hue, potentially from the clouds. That effect was enhanced with HSL adjustments.

Fabulous images Sagnik. I love the colour shot. I'm very impressed with what you're achieving with Polarr. Is that a favourite app?
 
Chemotaxis said:
Thank you for your kind words. Polarr is certainly my favorite. I have used snapseed in the past, but my heart lies with this one.

It always helps if you love an app. It makes you persevere when you might otherwise give up. You're certainly showing what can be done with it. :thumbs:

To be honest, while the HSL for the sky was adjusted in Polarr, I adjusted the temperature of the building in a separate copy of the original image, and then merged them in Gimp. So, yeah. Not completely in Polarr.

Great. :D As long as you are confident that you have processed it all on a mobile device, then post away.

Okay, so I re edited the original in Polarr, this time selectively adjusting the hue of the highlights, thus eliminating the use of Gimp altogether. Honestly, I think I like the warmer colour on the building in this version better. And I guess we can be cool about the fact that no desktop softwares were used anymore.

Hmmmm the problem with Gimp is that its a desktop application? That's not actually allowed here :whistle:

Love the color image. It's the color of the window frames against the gray building that makes it for me
