We’ve just had some of the worst weather, we have seen for quite some time at around 3pm i noticed a distinct red glow coming in my window, when i looked outside I was greeted by a huge huge dust storm.
My camera gear now looks like it’s been rolling in the back of the ute for a couple of hours on a dirt rd and below are some of the images.
Some Night Photography
by mysv8rulz on Aug.28, 2009, under General, Landscapes
I haven’t had a whole lot of time to shoot frames during the day lately, so Ive been trying out the D3 with a bit of night photography. We’ve had some stunning weather here in the Hill lately and night times haven’t been to cold nor to windy to get out and have a play.
The first real night shot I had taken with my D3 was a week or so ago when a camera club visited from the Riverland. Unfortunately i wasn’t able to join the team in any day lit hours so I decided to do a bit of a night photography/painting with light demonstration.
The following picture was a result of that demonstration. It was taken with my D3 and 24-70mm lens @ 24m, It’s a 30 second exposure at F5.6 @ ISO3200. The light from camera right is from a led lenser torch waved to paint in the subject for about 15-20 seconds of the exposure.
The next image is me having my first go with my ebay remote timer it comprises of 28 x 3Minute exposures layered in photo shop all shot at F6.3 @ ISO500 again with the 24-70
And finally this is an image that’s surrounded by circumstances I’m sorely disappointed in, I have wondered ever since I first shot a night image how well you could get a stars reflection to show in a still body of water, last night I set up my gear about HERE (yes we spent the night in Mildura) when I set up the water was deadly calm exactly what I needed. After a couple of test shots I was ready to run, this shot was the first of a sequence of what was to be 100minutes which would have left the sky glistening with stars, after the first shot was done I flt the wind blow up and knew my perfect image was ruined.
None the less, this image D3 with 24-70@ 24mm, 377seconds @ F9 @ ISO2000
Enjoy!!
