Another Night Photo From My City

Dennis

Here is another night photography approach, but I actually shot the photo during the dark autumn evening, not really at night. The photo was taken at the same day when I shot the other one. But this time I don’t show you the front of the historical district, but a scene that I shot directly in this district. As you can see, lot’s of brick stone buildings, and a beautiful cobblestone street, that’s really what our historical district is about, until a hipster architect is at work again to modernize an areas again. But for now, Lübeck still has some … Continue reading Another Night Photo From My City

Lübeck In The Evening

Dennis

Ok, I finally did it. Today I wondered again why I purchases a quite decent tripod back then, when I never really used it. I got headache inside because of the heating air in my apartment, the best way to get ill, and thought it would be better to get out there to take a deep breath of fresh autumn air. I just didn’t know what I could do outside, and as said, my tripod came into my mind. I thought I should finally go out there to try night photography with my tripod. It was a bit wet outside, … Continue reading Lübeck In The Evening

Handheld Night Photography Try

Dennis

Here is a photo that I shot handheld at night. It’s funny, I have a very cool Manfrotto tripod and recently I did even purchase a cool tripod bag, but yet I am still too lazy to carry the stuff out there to take some cool night photographs. The photo in this post was shot without tripod, because as said, I am way too lazy to take the tripod with me. I shot the photo with manual settings as I wanted to try out if it’s possible at all. I did set the camera to ISO 1600 with aperture f4 … Continue reading Handheld Night Photography Try

Experimental Moon Photo

Dennis

It’s nighttime and the night sky is cloud-free, the moon visible, and I thought I try to take a picture. I did set up my tripod, the D7100 and my Tamron 70-300mm lens. I activated the 1.3 crop mode of my D7100, then I disabled the vibration reduction mode of the lens as I wanted to use my tripod anyway. Apart from that, I enabled RAW and JPG fine, to see if I can get a little bit more quality out of the RAW file. I did set the camera manually to ISO 100, f/10 and 1/200 of a second. … Continue reading Experimental Moon Photo

Practicing Night Photography Without Tripod

Dennis

Today I decided to practice night photography in the city, because I have trouble to take decent night photos without tripod. I could just take my tripod with me, but I still don’t have a decent bag for it, and anyway, I think it should be possible without a tripod in some situations. Today it rained, and the city is already decorated for christmas, I thought the reflections on the streets and all the christmas lights would make some interesting shots. To be honest, I shot around 60 photos, but I deleted most of them as I failed. Talking about … Continue reading Practicing Night Photography Without Tripod
