Most of my header images are self-explanatory, however,
I felt this one needed an introduction.
This was taken last Wednesday night, June 3, looking across Corio Bay to the lights of Point Henry.
It was about 1810 and chilly (our standards).
Technical stuff:
Camera: Nikon D7100
Exposure: 30 secs
f/stop: 22
ISO: 100
Sigma Lens: 50-500 mm
Focal length: 50mm (75mm on 35 mm camera)
I am fairly pleased with this shot as I was following some instructions for night photography.
I did however forget to lock the mirror up…
and my tripod is not really steady.
Cheers…enjoy your weekend.
Chilly as it may be.

Great shot. Do you have a hook of some description on your tripod? A bag of stones is great for holding it steady.

I think, after hearing fellow camera club members talking, that my tripod is too light, in general. After all, the tripod I used the other night was a give-away with the camera. What Google terms, the centre column elevator, is too thin to hold a Sigma lens (nearly 2kg) and camera steady. And I guess that all translates into the legs not being sturdy enough also. I have another tripod…again a give away so not expecting much out of it either. However, the season is upon us when “what do you want for Christmas, Fathers Day etc?” is often heard. Now I will be able to say conributions welcome….instead of jocks and sox 😀

Cheers to you also. Not chilly here in Canada. Just lots of bugs.

Must be the time of the year. No bugs…that I remember, when I was in Canada.

When I lived in Toronto years ago, there were no bugs. I’m in Northern Ontario now, near Sudbury, and those blood-suckers are everywhere this time of year.

It is interesting to hear that. We used to be plagued by mossies (mosquitoes) and flies until we moved house. Now we hardly ever see either…touch wood.
