Electric violin
Making pictures when the sun disappears is something I’ve struggled with over the last few years. Usually it takes me quite a few attempts to get something good. But I kept trying even when everyone else with a camera had given up and put theirs away for the night. Sunday night, with the only light coming from street lamps, I was finally in the gravy. Lots of good photos, and if they were bad, it was entirely my fault (shoot with the light not against the light). Everyone else had given up.
Photography is 90% the photographer, 10% the gear. That was an expensive lesson I learned the hard way. But it’s in bad conditions that the 10% becomes critical. Or that the positions are reversed.
We’re in a new age now, where we can shoot at ISOs like 12800 (the above was 3200) and get very good results. Excellent results no doubt in about four years. I won’t be the poster boy for the new age in photography, but it will be a trip I’m sure.
