I live next to the local stadium which is being rebuilt. This humongous crane is on premise. You can see part of the metallic structure of the stadium. This is taken on a snowy evening, handheld.
I can see the snow in the beam of light. Nicely done for handheld. @borof I had one too, a Meccano set. That’s when I realized I wasn’t going to be an engineer.
@ludwigsdiana They do not work at night. Maybe because it is a residential area, or maybe the constructor does not want to pay extra for night shifts. Either way, it's quiet at night.
@ljmanning Yes, i tried to preserve it as caught in camera. I only added a bit of structure and aligned a bit the vertical of the crane. Otherwise, it is as shot. It was a very very bright night. From my bedroom window, with the neighbouring rooftops covered in snow, the view was almost like daylight. But in this shot, I guess it is warmer because of the street lamps.
@bruni Yes, there is a setting in the camera for handheld night shots. I really like the results. The settings are fixed, hence the high ISO and the resulting grain. But as I said: I really enjoy using this feature.
