So this is my first proper post, and for this one I've just added a couple of night photos I took a while ago at Mount Coot-tha lookout, near Brisbane (obviously, this is the city you can see from the lookout). The first is from the lower platform, the second from the top platform.
For both photos, I used my Canon 1000D with my Pentax 22-80mm lens and adapter plate. The adapter plate means it can only be used in manual focus mode and is also a stop down plate, which means the aperture setting is also done manually via the lens itself. From memory, I used an exposure time of 20 seconds, ISO setting 400, and the photos were processed from RAW format using Photoshop CS5 extended.
I really love doing night photos which show off and exaggerate really different colours that can't usually be seen with the naked eye. I also don't mind using older lenses manually, it's a bit of a change from having the camera body do everything for you.
You know, it's times like this that I'm glad I decided to go through all your posts. I totally missed this one! BEAUTIFUL!
ReplyDeleteThanks bazookafied, these ones take a lot of work to get right, especially using older lenses, but it makes it worthwhile when other people can appreciate it!
