More night shots - different effects......

Believe it or not, these are exactly the same photo ! What looks like a starry night is actually the fairy lights under the stairs, but that's ALL. The 2nd photo shows the actual stairs, with the lights still visible, but not the main feature. The 'starry night' uses the auto portrait setting and the 'stairs' uses the 'night portrait' setting. This was achieved with the slow/repeated flash.

Night Shots - using different settings

These 3 pictures demonstrate the difference between 'Portrait', 'Night View' and 'Night Portrait' automatic settings on the camera.

• Portrait (photo 1) used no flash, and produced a fairly dark image of the 2 candles on the dining table.


• Night view (photo 2), uses some flash, but image is still a little dark.
  
• Photo 3 - night portrait used the multi flash, and is almost like daylight.

Collages...........a whole new world !!!

Far top - picture grid, 3 photos, sepia.

MACRO & CLOSE UP MONDAY...........

.......a close up, macro or small detail. I'm sure I can find something that fits into this category !!!!!

Not easy to get a horse to stand still in a paddock - unrestrained.

Twenty first century Tuesday...............................

This front loader washing machine is certainly 21st century compared to the wringer I used at Newton Boyd......not that long ago. It also fits into the category of something shiny as well. *Note the smelly sandshoes at the base of the machine - every home should have them in their laundry!

Worn out and weathered Wednesday...........................

Something not quite at it's best. This poor old wheelbarrow has certainly seen better days. Because it was late in the day when this photo was taken, I needed to alter the exposure settings to allow more light in the frame.

TRADITIONAL THURSDAY

Something older and more traditional.............' what more traditional than a couple of stockmen out riding the boundary?

Fill the frame Friday.........................

The requirement for this activity was to fill the frame, and during all our exercises we were asked to think about viewing items from different or unusual angles. There are two photos that meet the criteria, and they are shown here.

Shiny Saturday

These are two photos I have taken - the requirement being, something shiny! The smaller of the two is a front loader washing machine, and the larger a water feature. I have used 'Picasa' to edit the photos, and then placed them on my blog.
