58F. Chilly.
Another autumn evening mimicking winter.
I decided to capture a few photos for my Apartment series. With colder nights being clearer it stands to reason for me to get crisper photos.
It was an interesting thirty minutes. Cold evenings also tend to be much quieter. Fewer people on the street. Less cars, although I got one or two good light trail images which I plan to edit and add for sale in the next few days.
The image on top has been run through Photoshop Express. I didn’t see them at first but the good thing about this image is the shadows of the tree against the walls. There is a house just opposite with a massive light in the drive way which is causing these shadows.
And when I thought it wouldn’t get better there was a fog rolling in about an 3o minutes after I took my last photo. This (obviously) prompted me to head out again and take a few more photos.
I shot with the same settings, F/2.0 and a 2 second exposure. I’m using an XE2 and if you put it in T mode on the dial it is supposed to give you the option to change the time the shutter remains open. I’ve tried it by rotating the command dial but it isn’t working as I expected it to.
The lens I am using is a XF35mm and it’s probably the sharpest lens I have.
What are you thoughts on shooting at night? Any interesting projects in the works? I’m looking for inspiration and interesting reads.
Thanks for reading : )
