Carried away with the camera again...

Day 126/365

Sorry, I did it again.

I got carried away with the camera.

I had plenty of time to kill around 5 this arvo,

Sheri had to come to town for music, and

it is not worth driving home for half

an hour. So Tiff and I checked out the bridge,

and went for a

walk on the breakwall.

Then back to the bridge to check out the lights

of passing cars.

A boat and trailer crossing the bridge at

sunset. We were standing on the sand

next to the river.

I think the sun had just dropped below the

horizon in this one, not sure though.

This one is when we were walking along

the breakwall.

I set the tripod up to take this, the wind was blowing

so hard I thought everything was going to

topple into the water, including me.

Still not happy with this, but I think I will

have to wait for a non-windy day to try again.

I set the tripod up on the edge of the river,

I was really trying to get the car lights as they

crossed the bridge, but the sides of the bridge

are way too high. I think I will have to try this one

again as well.

This one nearly worked. I caught some of the lights.

It was not really dark enough either.

The lights look like stars.

The water is nearly glowing in this one,

and the lights are great.

I am really enjoying playing with the different

settings on the camera, so come on everyone

get brave, take the camera off the auto settings

and play. Make sure you have a tripod, cause it beats

shutter shake. Most of my pics today were taken

using the shutter button, set to something like 10.0",

not real sure what that means though.

I also played with the ISO, and also the white balance (I think),

and I am thrilled with the results.
Thanks for visiting my blog, please leave a comment

I am really liking the latest ones.
