River Log
I’m practising looking for reflections in my shots


“Quack!”
I feel that the light/dark areas are too far apart, hence the overexposure on the left side of the ducks. I’m not yet sure how to compensate for this apart from waiting for the sun to go even lower so that the light is a little bit more diffused which would also mean I’d need a faster lens ($$$) or bump up the ISO (more visual grain/noise).

I used a focal length of 95mm on my 18-200mm Tamron kit lens, aperture of F/6, Exposure was set to 1/250sec with the ISO set to 400.

Even this produced a low lit scene in my opinion. Therefor I had a long exposure time of 1/10sec with the ISO set all the way up to 1600. I also set the aperture to a max of 2.8 with the focal length of 55mm (I was using my Tamron 28-55mm, which with the 1.5x cropping factor of my Nikon gives me 82.5)

ANYWAY… I wish I had better lighting, and a brighter lens.
But as with any photography, you have to make the best out of what is currently available to you. In the end, I think the result wasn’t too bad :)

What do you guys think?

This photo is for Sumi :)

By the way, thanks for the comments and feedback! It really helps with my motivation to put my photos here on my blog!
Also, I’m happy hearing from old and new friends… so keep your comments coming, and I’ll do the same with the photos :D

The sun was out in full force which created a few harsh shadows.

I find that it gives the images an opportunity to present a strong feeling by showing the absolute tension of a scene without being distracted by colours.
Although what I captured was an unfortunate event, I’m glad to say that I’m happy with my first black and white shots.
