day ten

you'll miss things if you don't view on black

 

i'm going to make a total ass of myself and say this : this photo was something like shooting film in one respect: lack of instant gratification. i got a wired remote after christmas for shooting long exposures (thanks to inspiration from a photography club member, paul. so, since i completely forgot for a second that i was doing a 365 (conveniently, after the sun went down) i decided to take my tripod and camera outside for a minutes-long exposure.

long story short i put it outside, set off the shutter and set an alarm for 15 minutes. when i came to get my camera the exposure had already stopped itself since my battery died mid-shot. since my SD card reader is defunct i had to wait for my battery to charge enough to plug my camera into my computer to retrieve the picture.

phew.

good thing there was a picture to use for my 365. i'm pretty pleased.

 

i upped the contrast a teeny bit and dragged the color slider slightly to the blue side of the spectrum but other than that this picture is as it was shot :)

 

 

uuummm and i think that line in the top left corner is probs an airplane ruining my startrails.
