I have been using my Nikon D50 now for almost a month and learning lots about it and learning how to improve my technique, both with the camera and off the camera (photoshop).
Any how I took it up to the bridge that goes over the Edinburgh City Bypass the other night and experimented with the Exposures of about 30 seconds, an aperture of f25 and an ISO of 200. I used a tripod and took the photo, this is the outcome:
I had to edit the pictures a little bit compensate the exposure etc… but on the whole I Was pretty chuffed with the outcome. I was literally only there for 2 minutes to take these photos.
I am starting to play around with the camera now and constantly wanting to try new things out and experiment with it. I am far from an amateur I would say but I am learning, and more to the point enjoying learning more and more. I quite like the night shots as you get the great natural effect with the lights of the vehicles. However I am wanting to take it into the city centre some time to try it out where there is lots of extra artificial light from the shops etc…
