•  Support These building pics are great documentation of everyday life as well as artistic like some kind of abstract art. Can't deny that I feel like some kind of perv though, pixel peeping into other people's apartments and their activities... ;) --cart-Talk 13:22, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

•  Neutral Very nice as with all of your building close-ups, but many of the white parts are blown out. My guess is they aren't blown out by much, so any chance you could rework the raw to pull them back a bit? --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:19, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

  White parts look blown yes because it's white and depending on the weather on that day colors may be less white, however, even on cloudy days this white is really white. You could take a look to google street map or google images of this building --The Photographer 01:52, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

  I know whites are always hard to handle, but I try to handle them anyways. For example, my usual settings for photographing a lake on a sunny day are 1/250s at f/8, but the instant I see white boats, I dial it to 1/400s or so and lift the rest of the scene in post while keeping the boats just below the threshold. --King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:52, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

  Thanks King for your recommendation and yes if you take the picture using 1/400s with f/8, your white boats are just below the threshold, however, the scene in general will be underexposed?. --The Photographer 12:22, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

  I raise the exposure by about 2/3 stop in Photoshop in that case. Obviously that will cause the highlights to blow out again, but the highlights slider can take care of that (at 1/250s, moving the highlights slider may cause the blinking red highlight indicator to disappear, but that doesn't mean that the data has really been recovered; at 1/400s the data really is there). The noise increase will be negligible. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:43, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Pfft, Daniel Case, Windows has been trying to convince users to switch over to tiles for a long time now... ;-) --Martin Falbisoner (talk) 07:25, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

If you are referring to W8, I think the correct term would be Lego... ;) --cart-Talk 09:36, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

I always disabled that lego functionality of metro --The Photographer 12:22, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
