I used to feel the same way. Now I want to understand more of the technical aspects of camera and shooting.
I finally managed to get out.Thanks Molly. I had put my mind on reflections and puddles. After half an hour walking around I found a nice one. Never crawled on busy pavement before. Fortunately I had a camera in my hand.
There are more shots of this evening. Some I will post, most will end up in a dark archive.
Oh, you are working ahead! Reflections comes later in the year. 😂
Trainstation
But seriously, these are lovely and thoughtful; thank you for participating.
What a pretty set of lanterns. I love that you left some of the ambient l ight in the back to illuminate the image as well.
This is just stunning. I love the blue hour coupled with the warm yellow lights.
what kind of fountains caught on fire??? hard core new year's eve!From the New Year's Eve fireworks. Some of the fountains caught fire.
I already posted these in the POTD thread, but should probably put them here too.
The first one I chose as my actual entry for the week.
ISO 2000 | f/2.2 | 1/160 | Nikon Z6 + 35mm 1.8G for both images

😂 Okay, that might not have been really the correct term. The German word for the things I mean translates to "fireworks fountains". After some research I found that these things are actually called "cakes".
So, it was just some cakes on fire...
oh that makes a lot more sense!!😂 Okay, that might not have been really the correct term. The German word for the things I mean translates to "fireworks fountains". After some research I found that these things are actually called "cakes".

So... 2 more greasy spoons ...
Both shot with G9 , PL 12-60 , f6.3@1/13 , ISO 1600
I wanted to get a shot from the front of the Jackson Hole , but there was a trailer in the way .

1/50s, 25mm, ISO 640. Almost straight from camera JPG with a monochrome filter on. I did make my lenses look a little cleaner than they normally are. Sitting on a small walnut table I made about 30 years ago in high school wood shop. Ugh, it didn't seem that long ago till I thought about it.
Best rule of thumb I've heard is that however long you thought something was, you should double it and you're much closer! 😩
This is my entry to this week‘s theme. I took it during the New Year Eve‘s fireworks, but it probably would have worked without them.
CC is always welcome, however I noticed that noone has asked for it yet, so this is definitely not a must

I don't really have much in the way of CC for this. I do think you could rotate it very slightly clockwise as the tower in the back right is your vertical and I think it's very slightly not straight (same with a couple of verticals seen through the second full bridge arch. It's very minor. I love the rim light you got on the subject on the bridge, and the two people on the ground have a great shadow contrast to the hazier light behind them. The actual fireworks are kind of a secondary story to the people, IMO, but I really like this. 🙂
Keep this technique in your back pocket for later in the year where there is a week on artificial light. 😉 I have a friend who does the most amazing florals, both in terms of the flower arrangement and her strobe/flash work lighting them. This image reminds me of her work.

next weeks learning is shallow depth of field, you will nail it with portrait mode on your 13PM.
I liked the first topic and already looking forward to tomorrow 😉
F1.8, 1/50, ISO1000
Thanks a lot!
You‘re right, the verticals are not perfectly vertical, but, as you also mentioned, it’s only a minor thing and tbh I don’t bother.
I also like that the fireworks are only secondary, however they’re adding a reference to the time when the photo was taken
ah, practicing for tomorrow already with this image! fun little friend you have found.
Yes, having those in camera "date stamps" often makes an image on a personal basis, even if it doesn't make sense for others. 🙂
Well this week didn't go exactly as I thought it might but here's what I got!
