| About |
This is taken at a little holiday town on the edge of False Bay called Pringle Bay. The house in the foreground is my holiday house. This is my first venture in night photography. I wanted to experiment with really long exposures, say an hour or two, but i cant work out how to get my camera past 30 seconds.
But it was very windy there, so i had to stand behind the tripod, holding out my jacket to shield the camear as it took the photo. I must have looked a bit strange, standing like batman in the road at midnight, but we all have to make sacrifices to get our shots,not so. Such is the life of a photographer.
Interesting Tidbet: my father was also trying to take photos at the same time, and he was struggling. so i went over to help him, left the tripod alone, and boom, the wind blows it over and there goes my 18-55mm lense. i'm contemlpating taking it to insurance and saying i'm a war photographer.
