    Default After Midnight



    That made 4 in the morning on my balcony as i had no sleep , i was looking for something to do .
    It is my cactus plant and the orange light u see , come from the road , the public lights where comes out of the focus . 7-8 months ago i made something like this again but in my opinion it wasnt so good , as my old tripod
    was not so steady like this i use to day a manfrotto xprob 055 with a ballhead .

    canon 50d
    f2,8
    1/100
    iso 100
    natural night light
    on tripod

    Thanks for watching .

    A great idea, especially at 4 o'clock in the morning. Excellent silhouette and great bg colour. Perhaps a bit more dof for a bit tighter/sharper??

    I think I might have a look at a more vertical crop which may end up square but lose a lot of the blacks from the side.

    Hi Kostas. Very creative for 04:00!! The orange light is beautiful and I like the slight diagonal tilt of your cactus. I think this would also look great as a square crop - as suggested by Dave. Very well done!

    I'd also like to see this as a square crop, Kostas. I think a bit more sharpening on the lower parts of the silhouette so they crisp up as nicely as the top half would make this an even stronger image.

    I kinda like the comp as is, love the black/orange colour motif. I do wish the bottom part of the cactus was as sharp as the top part...perhaps going for more DOF if that didn't affect the street light's appearance too much (looks like the sun!!) would have been an option to explore. Well thought out image...
