Working with the Sun
Our remit for this month was to experiment with light. We were to try backlit pictures, perhaps producing a halo effect, silhouettes, reflections or a well-lit subject with background out of focus. These are our efforts:
Spires and chimneys taken from Princes St
gardens on 10/2/2010 late on a sunny afternoon. Taken with a digital compact
camera, experimenting with manual modes instead of relying on auto. Focussed
on the sky to set exposure before moving camera to frame the shot. Cropped
the bottom of photo to emphasise the skyline and used Canon software to slightly
alter the brightness.SW
Loco Shed. Technical data:
ISO = 64; 1/140; F = 3.5. No modifications.
The shed was full of sleeping steam
locomotives awaiting inspection and overhaul and I wanted a photograph that
reflected the stillness and tranquillity of
the place. RH
Reflections in the water. HW
Bokeh effect - jasmine in focus, background blurred. f5.6 1/45th sec. LD
