Mike Lamb Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 As barter for helping someone build a back porch I was given a pretty nice camera. Here are some nighttime experimental shots.

Marc Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The first one is my favorite. It's un-retouched? Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Katen Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 The latitude on those shots is amazing. Were you using some kind of HDR function on the camera? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 I like the idea. A lot. What I don't like on the 2nd one is that thing where all the trees are leaning in toward the center. I'm not sure if it's barrel distortion, parallax, or something else. I don't know what you call it. Whatever, the distortion messes up the composition. But, it's a cool idea. Nice image.

ghentjr Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 My son lives in a log cabin in the Adirondack Forest, upstate NY. Here is a night shot - moonlit. Not sure how well it will come through. Click to Enlarge 85.71 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted June 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 Thanks for looking. All I did was use the auto nighttime setting that the camera has built-in. A tripod is a must with long exposures (6 seconds). I post-darkened the moon light just a little because it was too bright. The barrel distortion bothers me too and I did do a little bit of adjusting but not enough. There are tools to fix that kind of thing with my photo software. f/3.5, 6 seconds, ISO 200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghentjr Posted June 20, 2014 Report Share Posted June 20, 2014 It looks like the first photo is more telephoto than the second. That may account for the differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
