I went out late last night to try a few<\/span> nighttime long exposures of some\ncherry blossoms. This was my second attempt at long-exposure shots, the\nfirst having been a year<\/span> ago with some long nighttime shots<\/a> of\nthe river that runs beside our place. This time I had<\/span> my Nikkor 17<\/span>-55 f\/2.8<\/a> (rather\nthan the Nikkor 18<\/span>-200VR<\/a>), and also a remote<\/span>-shutter release with\na timer,<\/span> so I could<\/span> make exposures longer than the camera's<\/a>\n30-second limit.<\/p>\n\n

<\/a>Nikon D200 + Nikkor 17-55 f\/2.8 @ 17mm\n— 32 sec, f\/10, ISO 200, P.P. boost: +2.31EV<\/span> —\nfull\nexif & map<\/a> — nearby photos<\/a><\/span>Kyoto Biwako\nCanal by Night<\/span><\/div>\n\n

The image above is a 32-second exposure, boosted a further<\/span> 2.31EV during\npost processing in Adobe Lightroom (meaning that it's equivalent to an\nun-boosted exposure of about 2 minutes 38 seconds). In reality, it was\nextremely dark and to my eyes everything on the left side of the image was\nmostly just a dim<\/span> silhouette.<\/p>\n\n

In comparison, here's a picture taken during the\nday<\/a> with my point-n-shoot two years ago.<\/p>\n\n

The image above is taken at spot where the canal turns 90 degrees (it runs off to the left in this image). So turning<\/span> left myself\nand following the canal for a few<\/span> yards, I took this<\/span> 30-second exposure....<\/p>\n\n

The sign on the fence says “don't park your bicycle or scooter here.”<\/p>\n\n

Looking out over the water with a 70<\/span>-second exposure....<\/p>\n

Continuing parallel to the canal, I took this<\/span>\n29-second (69-second equivalent) picture looking back toward where I'd just\ncome from. Where it looks like the water dead-ends in the background is\nwhere it turns 90 degrees, and is the spot where the first shot above was\ntaken. (The “map” link under each photo details its location.)<\/p>\n\n
