Landskrona Citadell Christmas 2023

Landskrona Citadell looking a bit Christmassy... had to get some photographs of course. 😎

 

Light, Form and Texture 11

On a discovery of minimalist black and white photography where light, form and texture are more important than subject matter.

Nikon D850, 70-300mm lens, handheld, edited in DXO PL 6.

 

Moonrise over Borstahusen

I tried to photograph the sunset over Denmark from Borstahusen yesterday but the sunset failed miserably to produce anything other than grey haze... however when I turned around and saw the moonrise in the opposite direction I was right chuffed!

Nikon D850, 70-300mm lens @ 170mm, hand held and edited in DXO PL 6.

Pepper Corns

Today the subject is Pepper Corns! One light from overhead and slightly behind, pepper corns in a plate on a small table, Nikon D750 & Sigma 105mm Macro, ISO100, f16, 1/60s, SB-910 Speedlight triggered remotely via the SU-800 Commander, handheld. Spicy!

(another) Computer Screen As Backdrop

I tried a different scene this time, more moody with a different subject, a cool little VW Beetle with groovy 60's hippy styling. Mostly the same settings as the previous post but had to tone down the flash quite considerably to get the right kind of light I was looking for.

Pull back shot.

I kinda like the effects I'm getting and will have to explore this more extensively in the future!

Computer Screen As Backdrop

I am currently off sick from work and instead of sitting around feeling sorry for myself I have withdrawn into my studio and tried something new, at least new for me because I know others have done this before.

I have used my computer screen as a backdrop, with the desktop sporting a cool Pacific Ocean scene of wide open water and clouds. The toy boat is standing on a blue sheet of cardboard and is being lit by a Nikon SB-910 Speedlight on a light stand, up and to the left, and triggered remotely via an SU-800 Commander unit mounted on a D750 with a Sigma 105mm macro lens attached. Settings: f11.0, ISO100, 1/60s, handheld and then edited in DXO PL 6.
