Sydney May 2013 (2 photos)
As I mentioned in my last post, I’ll be taking a break from blogging for a while (a month or so) due to various work and other commitments. I’d prefer to let you know beforehand that I’ll be disappearing, rather than leave and have you wondering, whatever happened to…? But I’m still here until the end of the week, so you’ll have to put up with a few more photos until then. For now, here’s something different from me.
If you’re anything like me, you buy and hoard small photographic accessories. I never know when I’ll need them but invariably when it might actually be useful, I forget to bring it. Well this time, I deliberately went out to shoot a sunset. And I actually remembered to take my tripod and my 10 stop Neutral Density filter. This reduces the light entering the lens by 10 stops, which means that for the same exposure without the filter you need to correspondingly increase your exposure time.
For those interested:
Camera: Olympus OM-D micro 4/3 camera
Lens: Olympus 12mm f2 lens
Aperture: f8 with ND 110 filter
Shutter: 40 seconds
Exposure compensation: +1.7 stops
Photo taken at 8 minutes past sunset.
Cropping and adjustments in Lightroom 4.3 (I’m lazy – I haven’t updated this yet)
I’ll put up another 2 or 3 more photos this week. Please stay tuned.

Good luck! I look forward to “seeing” you again 🙂
Thank you, and I’ll “see” you soon too. Still 2 – 3 more posts this week.

Enjoy!
That’s worth a post card 🙂
What ever you’re doing, take care, have fun and when we’ll see you again – welcome back!
Thank you kindly. 🙂
😦 does this mean there is no reason for me to come to WP for a while? 😦
Turn that frown upside down. I’ll be back before you know it.
All the best with your other work. See you when you get back 🙂
Thanks. I’ll have vivid images up later.
Have a great break. i know about work loads. You are wise…but I think I already knew that. Welcome back!
Thank you so much. 🙂
Oh, and, fabulous shot!
And again, thanks.
Superb colour and composition! Don’t forget to have fun during your break :-). I will be visiting your neck of the woods in the mid of this month. Hope I can take some good pictures…
Thank you. 🙂
Rug up! It’s winter now. Have you been to Sydney before? If you need any help or information, just send me an email. Or even if you want to have coffee…
Yes, I have been there once 6-7 years ago. Sure lots of things have changed. Thanks for the offer. Will contact you :-)…
🙂
I may not be on WordPress for a while but if you check your comments page, you will have my email, should you need to contact me. Have a great trip.
they say “until we meet again, it’s not goodbye” eh ^ – ^ have a safe and sound gap-time then,Mr.Dragon!
ps: I love the color ^ – ^ feel really really warm!
Thank you, Miss Wood Snake. 🙂
We will most likely still be here when you get back, but you will of course be sorely missed. I know I have missed a lot of time lately myself, but sometimes life just gets in the way of my fantasys. 😀
Yes, life can be a bit of a hurdle at times. Thank you for your support.
Stunning shot!
Thanks.
