Re: Your Best Nightscapes and how they were made


I think most of these are also in other threads of mine but here goes (they aren\'t very good tho):






Technique: Pointed the camera and clicked. No post processing other than the JPG conversion.
Exposure Time: 1/50 sec
F-Number: f/2.8
ISO Speed Rating: 64
Lens Aperture: f/2.8
Subject Distance: 0.30 m










Technique: Poped up the flash, pointed and clicked. No Post Processing other than the JPG conversion.
Image Created: 2009:12:02 18:21:30
Exposure Time: 1/50 sec
F-Number: f/2.8
ISO Speed Rating: 64
Lens Aperture: f/2.8
Metering Mode: Pattern
Light Source: Flash










Technique: Had to lay down on the sidewalk with the pod all the way flat. Lots of people walking around so kinda embarrassing. About a 20 sec. exposure. I had to doge out the flare/glare from the flood-light (bottom-right) that was pointed directly into the camera lens. Dodging was done by a moving finger in front of the lens during exposure and in PS later at home. The shots without the finger or where the finger wasn\'t there long enough have the whole bottom half of the image washed out. Sharpened and smudge/bug removal from the window glass done in ACR and PS.










Technique: Exposure Blending - 1 shot for the sky (about a 2 min. exposure) and only shot for the fountain and foreground (about a 20 sec. exposure. Merged in Photomatrix Pro and color corrected in ACR. I was 1/2 down so steps so I didn\'t need to lay on the ground. I did several variations of the shot. 3 tone mappings and 2 exposure blends.
The other exposure blend:
Here.
And the three tone mappings:
Here,
Here,
and Here.











This is the school I taught CG Animation at for a few years. No real technique involved. Just a tripod blocking traffic in the left lane. For americans that would be like the right lane. 45 second exposure @ f8. Some of the lit areas at street level had to be selected (with feathering) and the exposure dropped a bit as it looked a little blown out (still does actually). Sharpened and JPegged in ACR/PS.
