Thread: Show 'Night'

I couldn't find a thread for night shots so since I took a lot of night shots during a recent trip to Prague I thought I would start one. To get us started here is a view of the Charles Bridge looking towards the Old Town. This is shot using the NEX's hand-held twilight mode at 6400 ISO and further processed in LR.

Great shot Olli ! Did you shoot manual or auto?

Olli, that is stunning - the snow, the lights, the reflections, the beautiful architecture and sculptures. Really beautiful. I am so looking forward to more of your pictures from Prague.

Thanks. Herman, I shot it using the HHT setting which takes over the camera almost entirely. The only thing I think I can set is the ISO which I set manually to 6400.

Thanks BB. It started snowing earlier that day (Thursday past) so there was a nice light coating by the evening. I took about 300 pics though lots of them are repeats from slightly different angles and settings. I was also experimenting a lot with the HHT and the Panorama modes.

Olli, that photo has come out rather well, lovely shot! I haven't tried that mode yet.

BillN, your olive (I think) tree is beautifully lit. It looks very arid and quite appealing at the moment given the weather we are having!

^ pdh, this is an insanely great picture!



Shot with Samsung EX1 at ISO 1600. In my opinion, this is a great result for a small-sensor camera.

The Bridge of Peace is Stunning! now I will show my ignorance what is the HHT setting I've tried to find it on my downloaded 'how too' no can do. Just checked the cam: are you referring to the 'Night shot' available within the scene modes?
