LENS CAPTURE

Vol. 1 No. 45


Had a great time at our Sunset Meet in Brooklyn Bridge Park as we welcomed a few new faces in the group.  The weather cooperated with a very dramatic sky.  The photo below is a 7-capture high dynamic range (HDR) image. I bracketed the captures about 15 minutes before sunset.



The sharing of ideas and various technique flowed throughout the group.  Images resulting from Doug Palmer's creative tip on zooming during long exposures are already appearing on the Flickr LensCapture Group. I also enjoyed Katy's imaginative lighting of the Manhattan Bridge.

As twilight took hold, the lights of the city began to burn brightly providing a magnificent compostion begging to be memoralized.  And we all took up the challenge. Slow shutter speeds, small apertures, low ISO and long exposure in-camera noise reduction went into the making of the image below.



I was asked numerous times during the Sunset Meet for the spot of the next photo walk.  I'll be revealing the location for October's gathering later next week.  As it stands now, it will probably be an early morning start on Sunday, October 25th.  Just putting together the final details.

Remember, if you attended the meet, please share an image or two up in the Flickr LensCapture Group.
