CANDLES

Not one of my best - the focus is in entirely the wrong place. I took it handheld in low light and that was a bit silly - I should have got out the tripod and done it properly. Ho hum...

Just after the cow jumped over it...

...all there was left to see was the moon. It was a lovely clear evening when I took this on Wednesday, but I haven't seen the sun or the moon since then. Must have been the darned cow's fault. ISO 3200 has caused lots of noise but I don't think I mind that.

Have a great weekend everyone!

One of those days

I was quite pleased with the way this converted to back and white with very little tweaking. Just a tad of extra contrast and that was it.

It's the only thing that went right photograph-wise today though. I tried to take a photograph of a street lamp in very low light this morning - just after dawn on a grey morning so no colour in the sky at all. It just didn't work and I was disappointed because I see it every morning and had a picture in my mind of how good it would look. But it was completely out of focus and the light from the lamp was much too bright. I didn't really know what to meter off - to be honest I didn't know what I was doing at all.

It feels like a step back day rather than a step forward one.

So I decided to take a picture of my lunch and that looks rubbish too (the photo, not the sandwich!).
