Taking photos in the dark
One of the advantages of living where I live are the differences between seasons. In “spring-winter” the sun comes along and everything gets a bit brighter, with a bit of luck it gets bright enough to catch a few photos during the day.
In spring trees, plants and flower is starting to grow again and everything gets more colorful
In summer, everything turns green
In autumn, the light starts to get low and suddenly, it’s all very colorful.
Which brings me to winter. Today sun raise was 9:20 and sunset 13:40, and if that’s not enough the last several weeks have been rainy (hello, climate change) and cloudy. In other words it’s dark before work and it’s dark after work, and if I decide to take an afternoon walk it’s “a low light situation” (thanks to whoever who passed in the car).
Fortunately, it’s still possible to take photos … with one change, instead of taking landscape photos I photograph the “city lights” — but since I don’t live in a city it doesn’t happen that often.
When I walk around at home it’s more like this
Still not bad but it gets a bit “limiting”. Not surprisingly this is the season for flash photography 😜
