My first try at Long Exposure Photography

This was my first serious attempt at Long Exposure Photography. The plan was to spend an evening and try out Panning photography of the high speed vehicles on the highway. We saw the sunset and the sky getting darker. It is a kind of place where there are no street lights and the vehicles with headlights on were zipping through the road and my friend wanted to stay little longer and take long exposure shots of the road!

Lines on the road - 30 seconds

Location: Is the bridge over the NICE road, express speedway Bangalore, which connects the road on either side of speedways and normal traffic use this road. But it is kind of deserted with only few vehicles cross over the bridge now and then, so we can stand over the bridge and watch high speed vehicles zooming on the road below! With sunset on the horizon on one side, empty fields on the other and silent but fast moving cars on the road below, it is one of the best places to take photos in Bengaluru!

Some more lines on the road and thick light! 29 seconds

I was excited about the fact that I could try long exposure shots, but we didn't have tripods with us. We decided to use the barrier on the edge of the bridge to rest our cameras. I set the shutter speed to Bulb and decreased the aperture size and set the ISO at 100. And started experimenting with exposure time of 30 seconds, 40 seconds, 50 seconds and 1 minute!

Lines of fire! 60 seconds

I was very surprised at the outcome. I wanted to try more and get that perfect shot! I loved each and every pic I took that day. Now that I have studied my photos and also have read about long exposure photography, I'd want to go back there and try more!

Seagull

Birds are a wonderful creatures. Each one of them have their unique offerings and fascinates you. We were going in a noisy boat, engine roaring, and people speaking loudly with each other. There was this beautiful seagull, away from it's heard, hovering around the boat checking out what these noisy people were upto!

Photography - 1

This is sort of a come back post on my blog! It has been almost 3 years since I wrote anything on my blog. In fact I had forgotten my login id and password. Got the email id from one of the mail which I had sent to my other email and later recovered the password! I wanted to write so many things but somehow it never happened! Anyway I would want to make some posts on photography along with other things! So here goes... Wont be writing about my Photography hobby much on this, but I would want to share a pic which I had taken recently. The reason being that it was an experiment or rather I should say my first attempt at Panning photography. Without saying much, let me post the pic! I would let the photo do the talking! Car on the Highway! I used my Canon 550D to take this pic. ISO 800 focal length 50mm exposure time 1/15 sec aperture f/6.7 It was quite an experience, I would share some more pics from the session and would share the experience.

Places to visit from Bangalore - Halebeedu

Bengaluru is a place from which one can plan a lot of short trips and weekend getaways. A lot of trip-worthy places around. I would like to capture and showcase a glimpse of some of these places I visit in the form of short video clips and in the subsequent posts I would write a detailed posts. Halebeedu: Halebeedu temple complex. This 12th century structure has a breathtaking hoysala style architecture, with intricate carvings, mesmerising idols. One loses track of time when they go here and gets lost in the midst of this architecture marvel! Such a rich place this is, yet it feels sad to know that most of the idols are mutilated or destroyed. How can one be so cruel, that they go ahead and try to destroy such a marvellous place? Yet with all the mutilation and onslaught, it is still standing tall, showcasing the great architecture of the 12th century. Halebidu is a around 200 km from Bengaluru, and can easily be a good weekend getaway. If one wants to witness this timeless w...
