Snapshots from Marina City Park (17 Mar 07)

[night86mare]

Since snapshot is the word of the moment!

Thanks teerex for the help in what to expect, etc.. Still can't find you guys' favourite path. Got as far as the sundial, walked around for a moment more, then was hungry (went after work in the morning, so reached around 12 pm shot until 2 pm).

Sun was so-so, a bit not there sometimes. Anyways this time I decided to be more normal (I hope). But er, don't worry, there are still weird colours for all of you!

#1


#2


#3


#4


Here everything that looks remotely normal ends. =D

#7


Thanks for viewing, all C&C welcome.

Hi night86mare,

Nice compositions in your photo's.

Much better thought and captures than what I took when I was there

#7 is a nice effect.

I do notice what "I assume" is a rather heavy hot spot in your pictures.

Care to share what lens and settings you have been using ?

Cheers

Thank you for the kind words, Pablo!
I'm using Sony H2, no lens since it's a fixed lens prosumer. Generally it's a mix, I did not remove the EXIF settings, but yeah, I know what you mean by the hot spot thing, no idea what it is or whether it is really a hot spot though. The trouble is when I use f/2.8 (the largest my camera can offer) there is not enough detail for my liking. So I guess have to compromise.

Anyways, settings, for common ones, all ISO 80, and center metering, manual focus for most
#1, #2, #3, #6 - f/5.0, 4 sec exposure
#4 and #5 (same picture) - f/5.6, 5 sec exposure
#7 - f/4.5, 5 sec exposure

I wish I could use f/8.0 for more DOF but unfortunately, the spot thing is too apparent then already.

Your snapshots and PP are getting better at each session.

But I still prefer more sharpness. Like you always say, matter of personal preference.

Thanks for the comments!

I also want more sharpness, actually. But I guess with this cam, not too possible unless I want hot spot heaven. When I get my K100D or K10D then - which seems quite good for IR with tripod, since I'm used to it already.

Yeah, me too. I took a number of flyer shots but dumped them because it looked so blatantly incomplete. =D

Mutter, I went there to eat after I gave up finding the place. So close yet so far. Or is it near the Sundial? Thanks dude.
