night shooting... deserves a quiet night...
R.E.M. once said something similar. Well, it's been cold around here lately (minus the benefit of any snow) so i've been more of a shut in than normal... i want to get out to some of the local places in the next few months to shoot, but right now i'm confined to my place, so trying to think of some new ways to shoot the area.
so, this was attempt 3 of 3... glad it turned out, cause the battery drains pretty fast when you are doing some of these long exposures... For this shot I set up the camera just below the barn, propped it up and made the following settings on the D90:
Aperture: f/10 (for a decent depth of field, didn't want any of the barn to be really out of focus.
ISO:200 (the lower the noise, the better... and i'm not a huge fan of the noise reduction feature of thes cams, takes too long;-\)
shutter: bulb... started the exposure with a remote and got the heck inside... did i mention it was cold outside???
then about 20 minutes i came out and stopped the exposure and ran back in the house (again, did i mention it is cold?)
now for some post processing work... in aperture (love this program) i bumped up the saturation of the blues and pulled down the luminosity. cropped (can you tell this isn't a native resolution of the d90) and straightened out the picture (would have paid more attention as i was taking the picture, but did i mention it was cold???)
hope you gleaned a little info from this blog entry... if you're digging them let me know on the flickr page and I will make sure to keep them coming... love sharing these lessons learned with all my flickr friends.
