Dunedin at Night


Dunedin at Night, originally uploaded by setev.

It's been a while since I have done any night photography.

The above was taken at a park overlooking the city and inner harbour area. I was pleased with the results especially as I was using a different lens than normal.

Night photography is always a lot more fun when you are in a group too. So I recommend getting involved in either a camera club or photography class through your local college or Polytech.

A pleasant surprise awaited me when I loaded a batch of night photos onto the computer last night. But then I'm sure every photographer has had this experience.

The lens was locked so the camera couldn't bring the lens into focus when I started shooting. I couldn't have done this on purpose if I tried...Hence the title.

One Evening in the Springtime

I take the view that if a photo looks good in colour then it should look even better in Black and White.

Trying out a new filter at one of my favourite places. Well actually 2 filters - one stacked on top of the other. A graduated ND grey on top of a circular polarizer. This was a tip I learned from Ken Rockwell. The location is my alma mater, Otago University in Dunedin. Best viewed large on flickr.
