Lovely night shot Fi

Somebodyelse · 13-10-2007, 08:19

very vibrant, great composition and finally..... a winner in my humble opinion.

Geir Andersen · 13-10-2007, 11:14

Really, really love this shot.
Care to share the specs of the shot Fi? I never really got the hang of night shots.

fionaB · 13-10-2007, 11:32

thanx all.. Geir, shot in manual, no flash, tripod, f8, 2.5s exposure, iso 400, 18mm with the standard 18 - 55mm canon kit lens. timer delay and a long wait to try to time it so there were no cars going across! lol

Hope this helps

Thanks a million

. This really helped me a lot.
Maybe I to can get something more than a dark (or very very burnt) shot.
As a side question (if you don't mind), how did you select that exposure?
Set it to AV and take a reading of the darkest and brightest spot, then select an average and bracket? (I'm just guessing here though as I usually shoot in bright daylight.)

Thanks again Fi.

fionaB · 13-10-2007, 12:23

Geir, I set to manual and start off with something like a 1 second exposure take a shot and then work the exposure from there, obviously dependant on the lighting of what ever i am shooting and ambient light, the shutter speed will vary from one subject to the next, my xmas shot of edinburgh i think had a 5 second exposure, but i find ust by working my way up ( or down) from 1 sec i can find the right exposure.

Thank you so much for sharing

After work tonight the camera pops out and off it goes.

Great composition and colours

**Angela** · 13-10-2007, 16:44

Oh very nice Fi!

Whipspeed · 13-10-2007, 17:51

Very Nice Fi, that blue really jumps out at you. I think the 18-55 kit lens can be very underated, they do produce some good results.

Fantastic shot - love the colours and the reflection in the water.

great shot,I reckon your settings and exposure are spot on here. Add a very nice comp and colours and you end up with a winner. Well done
