Zennon's 2010 Project 52

[ZENNON]

Decided to try and do Project 52 (one photo per week)

This is my first one:

Took 31 images:

x7 at f/8 for 1secs with ISO400

x8 at f/5.3 for 0.5secs with ISO400

x16 at f/11 for 8sec with ISO100

Firstly I used the cleanest and best 3 images to create a clean unobstructed photo. A single frame was used for the sky and the building, other two was used to remove stationary vehicles and people standing around. Then used all 31 pictures for the foreground to get as many car light trails as I could.

Beautiful Composite

Only thing that draws my attention away is the light/Spotlight on top of the building. Besides that, love the colours and great photo mate

Indeed great picture!! A lot of thought went into it which is what i like.. esp on these projects

Last thing you want is just random pics of stuff on the 52 or even 365 projects..

Cant wait to see the next one

[ZENNON]

Thanks guys. Wonder if its allowed to edit a Week 1 photo in Week 2... lol

(been looking at the Casino photo again and want to change a couple of things)

nice work man.

Might have to try something like this. i dunno if my patience will hold up though having to mess around with that many photos haha

[ZENNON]

Ok I lied - THIS is my first one

(converging verticals fixed and lights a little dimmed)

[siddr20]

Much better

So whats planned for the 2nd pic?

[ZENNON]

Erm.. already took some for week two (around the new walking bridge) but I've been a bit lazy with the processing

Week 2 Photo

Not actually a very good photo - more a "proof of concept" photo about taking photo's in the day with slow shutter speeds so cars and people aren't visible at all.

Photo was taken using ND3 (x1000) filter with:

ISO: 200

Exposure: 30 sec

Aperture: 8.0

Focal Length: 20mm

So what's stopping it from becoming crazily over-exposed? Cos I like it.

[ZENNON]

The ND (Neutral density) filter - which only lets 0.1% of the light in

that picture is crazy [week 2].... i love how there is no cars and ppl... didnt know something like that was possible to make, well without photoshop etc

[NA_Goodness]

Is that an external filter?

[ZENNON]

yupp - just a normal screw on filter

here are some with and without shots:
