silent night

couple of days ago i felt the need to get out into the snow, though freezing cold – someone gotta test camera’s batteries anyhow 8) the planned short walk then took over 3 hours, back home past 2 in the morning..

my main goal of course has been our village’s castle, as it’s lights could give nice effects with lower fog, but unfortunately the fog wasn’t that low.. but with snow and all this light-pollution around here one can shoot at night nowadays at speeds nobody ever would have thought of couple of years ago!.. did i mention lately i actually *love* light-pollution? ;)

all done with bibble 5, just some tweaking of colors/whitebalance, no photoshop.

steaming sugar

on my way home from a job the other day i simply couldn’t pass a big sugar refinery where there were just huge piles of steam towering up against the partly cloudy moon-lit sky.. unfortunately the steam was quite a bit less yet when i found my first spot to shoot, but still i thought it would be a nice test-drive for the nikon’s night-abilities which i omitted to test till now..

nightlights

having had it planned for a while now, i finally made it out to shoot a little at night again.. put my shortest lenses on the two big canon-bodies, so i could play with one while the other was exposing – mostly bound to 30″ as i still don’t have any timer, nor a lockable cable-release with me :(

as most often i again used the lights of vienna, but also played a little with a flash and a flashlight.. all just gone through bibble for whitebalancing and minor tweaks..
