Day 33 from 37 – 15th August 2012

37 Days – Holiday project.

Studying today’s image for short a while, the words ‘mediocre’ ‘average’ ‘boring’ immediately sprang to mind. It wasn’t completely dark when I took the pictures, but if I’d have gone to fetch my tripod it probably would have been. Hand held shots at this time of night are certainly a bit tricky, so I was expecting the worst…. and seemed to have achieved it rather well.

Struggling to keep the camera reasonably steady I adjusted the sensitivity from 200 to 400 ISO, but that didn’t really bring me much, and pushing it much higher would, I’m sure, have resulted in totally unacceptable noise – perhaps time for a new camera? No, for an occasional filling station by night shot I think not. But I’m sure these won’t be the only night shots this year.
