Bishop Arts Photowalk

21st January

So last night I was out shooting the Fort Worth skyline with the DFW Photography Club of Texas MeetUp Group, and I set the white balance to florescent to give the sky a nice blue color and generally brighten everything else up (a nice trick, as long as there’s not too much tungsten or acid-based lights around).

I shot full manual all night, and remembered to switch to Aperture priority for today’s Bishop Arts PhotoWalk with the Dallas Photo Walk MeetUp Group, but I forgot all about the florescent white balance…

Oh well. It made for some nice skies, anyway…



Fort Worth Skyline MeetUp

21st January

The DFW Photography Club of Texas MeetUp Group met up last night to shoot the Fort Worth Skyline. I managed to make it out, despite my agoraphobia, and chitchatted with a few shooters while I was there. I experimented a bit with deliberately defocusing, white balance, and wide/narrow aperture vs. shutter speed comparisons. I wish I’d remembered the remote release, as quite a few of the night shots were blurred due to my twitchy trigger finger. All in all it was a really good time.



365.23 Deliberately Defocused

21st January

Deliberately Defocused (and deliberately uploaded a day late because I got back from the meetup way after my bedtime…)

During the ‘shoot Fort Worth’s skyline’ Meetup, I accidentally took an completely out-of-focus shot. I liked the results, so I deliberately defocused the 50mm, and shot away. Good times!

50mm 1.8G, ISO100, 1/5, f/3.5.
