Xylophone by Night

A fairly straight shot this week. It's one of my daughter's toys on a mirror reflecting the night sky, taken for a "Colour on black" competition.

Camera model : Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL
Date/Time    : 2007:04:25 20:06:19
Flash used   : No

Exposure time: 1.300 s
Aperture     : f/13.0
ISO equiv.   : 100
Metering Mode: matrix
Exposure     : aperture priority (semi-auto)

Very little post processing on this: adjusted the white balance, resized (no crop) and a smidge of unsharp mask.

King's Cross

I went to London last weekend with Isabel for a jolly to the Tate Modern. It turned into quite a long journey, as the trains were diverted and half the tube was shut down, so I didn't get much time to stop and take pretty pictures. This one I was quite pleased with though.

Date/Time    : 2007:04:14 12:53:32
Flash used   : No
Focal length : 55.0mm  (35mm equivalent: 89mm)
Exposure time: 0.0050 s  (1/200)
Aperture     : f/5.6
ISO equiv.   : 400
Exposure bias: 0.33
Exposure     : aperture priority (semi-auto)
Jpeg process : Baseline

This is, I think, crying out for a bit of subtle HDR post work. Unfortunately, I've never done HDR, and didn't have the time to learn, or sort out the tools to get the RAW photo off the camera. Perhaps another time.

Elvis Lives!

I have been rather lax uploading photos recently, and was in two minds about this as though I love the shot, its focus is off. I really must invest more effort in getting the fundamentals of focus and exposure right! Hey ho.
