I had lots of fun taking night shots this week. For Shot 1, I used Shutter Speed Priority settings and placed the camera on a tripod. I had my sister and my cousin sit outside the frame of the shot and throw glow sticks in front of the camera to achieve the flying lights effect. For Shot 2, I used Shutter Speed Priority settings again and pointed the camera at a set of bright lights. After I pushed the shutter down, I moved the camera in circles to paint with the light. For the final shot, I set up a strand of small lanterns and used the Macro setting to achieve a shallow depth of field.
1. Sunday Sunset: 5-24-09; Rexburg; DynamicPhoto combination of three shots
This isn't technically a night shot, but I thought I'd share this pretty Rexburg sunset. I used the Auto Exposure Bracketing setting to take three shots of this scene at +1, 0 and -1 exposure levels. I then combined them with the DynamicPhoto program, using the Eye-catching effect. The picture appears a little duller on this blog than it does in Photoshop.
Oh my word I love your photos this week! Your night shots are stunning! Throwing the glow sticks has an awesome effect that I have never seen before, and my favorite shot is your sunset one! I bet it was beautiful even without the HDR, and the HDR makes it absolutely phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteGreat sunset it's hard to capture what the eye can see. The lantern is my favorite shot the design is nice.
ReplyDeleteI love all three of your night shots! But I would have to say my favorite is the lanterns. The composition is beautiful and very eye catching, and I love that you used macro to only have one lantern in focus! Great job!
