at the fair
 
timed exposure. shot while on one of the rides with Yasmine.
 
sufficient light conditions. some loss of detail in the shadow. exposure set on auto.

this tabblo is a follow up on the discussion about exposure settings which Debbie brought up on her "Easter Moon" and her "WC--The Strangest Places" tabblos. LatentE very nicely explained the intricacies of exposing for extreme highlights and dark shadows on the same photo. And Krisu, brought up a relatively new technic in digital technology which is HDR imaging (High Dynamic Range Imaging) which is actually a composite of a few photos exposed for different areas of the photograph.

 

in the following photos i will attempt to make some basic commentary on the light exposure conditions specifically for each photo.

 

disclaimer: i am by now means an expert on this subject!!!

 
low light situation. photo is exposed for background (ie sky). if i had tried to expose for the foreground, my background would have been too bright with loss of color and detail.
 
photo exposed for ferris wheel. street light is overexposed.
 
handheld + slower shutter speed = slightly blurred
 
handheld + no flash = blurry image.
 
handheld + no flash = blurry image
 
in order to expose for "movement" on the "tower ride", the inside of this food stall is overexposed. the spherical ball of light on the left edge of the photo is the moon.
 
negative effect for fun. =)
 
more overexposure to expose for movement.
 
another negative effect from tabblo!

all images were taken last year (summer) at a fair in Toronto. all photos were shot hand held and flashless. as you can see, i need to work on keeping my hands steady! =)

 
again exposing for "movement".

this tabblo is part of the "tabblo critique" group so please feel free to post how i could have improved my photos here. thanks!

needless to say, we had a great time at the fair! =D

 
movement exaggerated. taken while on one of the rides.

Great fun! You did a nice job with you camera! It's not easy to take night photos handholding and with no flash. I like your tabblo!

What fun! Great shots!

Excellent tabblo. You give a feeling of the movement and dream like "fluid" quality of a night at the carnival. What I had found when using film was that often the better "night" pictures were taken at dusk, while the sky still had some light, as in your image of the small roller coaster. The sky then acts as something of a fill light for the artificial lights. For some reason the coaster has no lights on so there's only a silhouette. Imagine if the next image of the ferris wheel had the after sunset sky behind it.

Great images! Your timed exposure in #1 reminds me of an impressionist seascape, but #3 is my absolute favourite in this set. Nice work!

Bel Tabblo. Penso che ogni foto rappresenta lo stato d'animo del momento. Every pics depend on our mood in that particular time. Ecco perche' le mostriamo in Tabblo. That's why we share them in Tabblo. It's a way to speak each other My photos are very different depending on my interest of the moment , on the occasion and on my mood. Ciao a tutti
