Wheels of the Past

Av: F/2.7; Tv:1/100s; f:6mm(35mm-equiv: 38mm)

This photograph was shot at Rheinfalls, an hour north of Zurich in Switzerland. This wheel was probably used in pre-industrial era to fetch water from a well or river.

I liked the mood of this one; and also the angle, the framing and the background. The white board in the top-left corner does seem out of place but it was a great spot to put my signature!

I shot this snap in Sepia. The reason I put up this snap on the blog is to get feedback or any pointers on when to use Sepia and when not to. Almost any snap that I take in Sepia; it always looks better when I desturate it and turn in into B&W. It was no different with this one – I post-processed the photo and made it B&W – and that looked better than the one you are seeing here.

Any links to Sepia-flavored snaps which you have taken are greatly appreciated!

Salzburg At Night

Salzburg At Night

Av:F/2.7; Tv:1/4s; f:6mm(35mm-equiv: 38mm)

I shot this snap just past dusk when I was strolling along the Salzch river in Salzburg. The scenery was too good to miss – the shops along the riverfront, the reflection of lights in the river, the not-so-dark sky.

I liked the coverage and framing of this photograph – right from the castle overlooking the city, down to the bridges crossing the river – it’s all well-positioned.

What I do not like about this particular shot is the absence of sharpness. A quarter second shutter speed was a mistake – I should have gone for at least a tenth of a second and used ISO 200. I don’t think the ISO noise would be pronounced in this photo because of the reflections in the water (which would have hidden the noise).
