a week or so ago and received no comments. However, despite it being very much a 'oo pretty' quickie camera phone shot, i really liked the image.. so... thoughts? Is it fine as is or should I go back with my proper camera or when it's a little darker and try a few shots to get an even better one?
I say go back when it is a little darker. It would look pretty eerie if the only light in the shot is from the street light, it would reflect off the leaves in different ways and make for a pretty awesome shot I think
I definitely think it's worth a revisit. I like to try the same subject in different light conditions just to see how it affects the image. That's the great thing about a digital camera... it costs nothing to mess around, so use that to your advantage.
What kind of camera do you have? A P&S or a D-SLR? if you have a D-SLR with a decent lens that lets in a lot of light, it would be good to go back when it's dark, possibly on a tripod, and set it up with a long exposure. As Chris says above, it'd look eerie and might work rather well.
compact average-user P & S (with some manual function)... kodak easy share v1233! took the original on my samsung galaxy phone. camera has been having trouble keeping focus sometimes. i want to go up to a 'bridge' but can't afford it yet.
Well if you can get your camera to be really still at night - perhaps set it on to a wall or something - and make sure the you have a relatively long shutter speed (perhaps 1 sec or longer), I think you can still do it.
As for buying a Bridge, don't bother! Either get a nifty high-end P&S like a Canon S90 (what I'm using) or a Lumix LX3, or just save that bit longer to get a D-SLR. A Bridge would annoy me because if I'm going to carry something of that size, I'd want to be able to change lenses.
well i'd see it as a 'practice run'... in terms of being more manual and the size etc and i found fairly good older models for £100-150 once, much cheaper than your s90!
but thanks for the other advice :-)
