moonlighting

PLEASE VIEW LARGE! :)

First proper outing with my new 17-40mm f/4 :)

Took this after my night yoga class! (Our class is held in a community hall that overlooks the water.)

It was cold - about 8 deg C! Eventually I had to stop shooting because my fingers had started to go tingly xD
Fantastic shot. Love those lights in the distance

Does this lens help with night shots! Did you have a tripod for this really lovely picture?
July 26th, 2013  
@maggiemae Yes, I had a tripod! Although I found out the hard way that my remote shutter release that I used on my 500D was incompatible with my 6D! So I just used the 2sec self-timer (to prevent camera shake when hitting the shutter) :)

This lens is primarily for wide-angle use - and isn't specific to night-time use! Its aperture does get as low as f/4 (good in low-light situations), but because I wanted to achieve that starburst effect on the lights, I turned the aperture down to f/13 (and compensated for this by setting a 30-second exposure time).

I love pretty moon shots, especially ones with reflections. :)

I think I'd like to challenge you to a diptych, either with nature as the subject, or something abstract. How does that sound?

@rainechan Sounds great!! :) I am going away to the snow this week so I may be a bit delayed in getting it done - I will try my best. :D
