The photography course my lovely family got me for my
birthday is going really well. I’m learning lots of interesting techniques and a
lot about my camera. Its also taking my to some interesting places as I’ve got
to put together a portfolio of around 50 photos on different subjects.
Here’s a few night shots of India Gate - My teacher Shyam wanted us to focus on the reflections in the water around the monument. Seems to produce good results.
My Photoshop skills
are in progress, see if you can spot the areas that have been edited :-)
This two India gates in this one are not done in photoshop, although a few minor adjustments have been made using it.
Rob, how on earth did you get the India gate x2 photo? It is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe have just put a load of our India photos on Dropbox - in Helen's work email address.
Trust Gilbert is looking after you

Hi John,
DeleteIts pretty good isn't it - a magician never tells his tricks :-)
But i will... Basically you put the camera on a tripod, set the shutter speed to bulb and take the first section of the photo for about six seconds, then cover the lens with your hand and move the tripod to the new position, remove you hand, leave for six seconds and then release the button. Hey presto, you have two India Gates! You can move the camera on and on and take as many as you like although positioning is very difficult. I think it only works on dark backgrounds - give it a try - Two Clevedon piers perhaps??!
Gilberts doing well, cooked a lovely Nepalese dish tonight so I'm full and content.
Hope you and Doreen are well and enjoyed seeing H over the weekend (I'm very jealous of the food you cooked her! :-))
It was lovely to see Helen again - and I think she enjoyed the food! John is going to look into your instructions - assuming his camera does the same as yours! If you look in Dropbox you will see some of our India pictures.
