Star Trails Shot @ Jack and Jill

This image was shot this evening and is made up of 9 separate exposures @ 3 mins each under a full moon f4.5 ISO 100. I imported the images into bridge then stacked them using Dr Browns Stack'o'Matic CS4 script, tweaked the exposure and exported it.

I had been eager to try this for a while and I am really pleased with the results for a first attempt.

Jack and Jill Windmill

This is a Shot taken on Tuesday at about midnight of Jill of the Jack and Jill windmills on the South Down near Pycombe. It is a single exposure of 4 mins @ ISO 100 and f4.5. This is pretty much as it came out the camera except for I upped the exposure by 1/3 of a stop to grab a bit more from the foreground. Tuesday was a really clear night with an almost full moon lighting the scene from the right of this picture. The 11mm lens I used was set to infinity to capture the scene and some short star trails.

I also had a play with the picture in Nik silver effex in CS4 and quite liked the outcome.

Taken between the two piers on Brighton seafront looking towards west street, handheld for 2 seconds ,f.4.5 @ iso 100 then played with silver efex in CS4.

This is a shot of the moon I took last night @ 1/6s f.18 and ISO 100.

I had never tried to take a picture of the moon till last night and spotted this out my back window and decided to give it a go after experimenting with settings this was the best exposure. I then cropped the image in Lightroom. Its also worth noting that this was shot through double glazing that was not particularly clean and still came out pretty good.

Antiques shop in Brighton lanes

This was the first shot I ever tried to convert into black and white and I was pretty pleased with it. It's slightly blurred when blown up as it was hand held at about 1/2 second.
