DarkElf Photography
illumination
Posted by DarkElf (Perth, Australia) on 17 December 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
every summer the trees along the main street in Kings Park in Perth are illuminated by light in various colours... the lights are installed in the ground and when they shine onto the trees it can often have a very surreal effect - especially when the tree are moving because of the wind...
welcome to my photoblog and thanks for visiting... my aim is to learn photography and share my experiences with you, not only through my attempts at photography, but also through showing different aspects of the world that have caught my interest over the time that i have been walking this planet... hope you enjoy the journey with me...

Hi DarkElf,
Very good night shot !
Perfect balance of lights and contrasts ;-)
Turn it 180°, make a "framework", increase the contrasts and it could be a disaster lightning ! ;-)
Cheers

neat looking light, I had read from a Photographer who did quite a bit of night work.
he preferred 5.6 and lower, you did well here, the color and light is intense.
