Cool shots Kevin, I love those ship ones... How cool is that effect of the
moon behind those clouds. Funny actually, cause I was outside with my boys
at around 8.30 and Jaimyn (my 5yo) observed that tonight the moon is round,
so we call it full, and tommorrow it will be a half-moon, you just wait and
see. Of course it is not actually a full moon tonight, but it does look
like it to him. Anyways, sorry to digress, they are lovely shots and you
did a really good job with the guestimations.
BTW, it is bloody hot up here tonight too - and so humid, you could just
about stick your tongue out and have a drink! Wish it would just rain,
cause it generally cools off for a couple of hours after it...
It is 11.10pm here now, and still well over 30°c, and that is WITH the air
con on! (Thanks Butch, I used the degrees symbol!)
'night all,
tan.

Subject: On a hot summers night...
8:30pm and the temp is still over 35C. So to cool off I took a drive
into town for some atmosphere. In town there is a small carnival and
a ship has anchored in the river. I thought I would try my hand with
the Bulb setting on the *istD and rather than let the camera do the
exposure work, I thought I would do it myself, without the camera
meter, or ambient light meter. Basically what I have done here is
alter the aperature and guestimate the correct exposure, counting
the seconds in my brain cell. Here are some of the results.
