The amazing hidden park
This is the first attempt at my new feature to the blog – namely a photoblog (or at least something in that direction). The main idea is to write some thoughts that I personally have or had with the photo’s. Due to the context, the situation or in pure retrospect. Maybe I will include the editing done or the camera settings/environment settings, maybe:).
For now all images are stored at Picasa as I find it fairly easy and smooth to use, however some lagging can occur, the original (jpeg export) is available at Picasa, at least as long as I remember and wish to publish the original resolution picture. Additionally some additional tags/information is available in Picasa (should be embedded in the jpeg as well).
Oh, yeah, I’ve recently began taking photo’s, so the photo’s may not be the best that is, however I find it a nice and fun hobby – so comment at will to give hints and, well, comments:)
Enough with the rambling – over to the photo’s. The photo’s were taken late at night in a fairly hidden park in Trondheim (near St.Olavs hospital). The park is just amazing – a little hidden quiet spot with many nice (and hidden) details. It is also a bit scary, especially at night, with the lonely swirrling chair, dramatic lightning and of course – aliens!
25 seconds exposure, 100 iso. Moved in the shot in the middle of the exposure to get a ghost-like apperance. I realize afterwards that the “scaryness” of the lonely swirrling (with sound!) chair, dissappeared a bit as I didn’t catch the surrondings of the chair. Well well, maybe next time:)
Dramatic lightning hitting a tree. Believe I caught some of the winter and abandoned feeling. Experimented a lot with using the flash here to get the chairs to light up and not the tree, but didn’t work that well.
The same tree in the last photo but from a frogs perspective. Highly edited in Lightroom to overexpose it and giving it a more artistic look. However there is a dramatic flaw in this – see it? The tripod became visible on the right upper corner when overexposing – didn’t see it while shooting though..
I’m adding some tags here as I’m a bit uncertain if I want to add the tags to the post or find another solution; photography, amazing park, night, long exposure, winter
