Trying to do this from a different computer while away from home – something of an exercise in frustration. I took this yesterday and then noticed that the weekly photo challenge is: illumination.
A pretty simple scene but it caught my eye through the window – the first ones I took were bad, with reflection and washed out colour. Then I changed the setting to night landscape and got this nice clean shot through the window. I never used the settings much on my Sony because they weren’t as easy to access so I didn’t realize it would make such a difference. I love my new Nikon 🙂 I couldn’t load a bigger shot here but click on the photo to see it larger in Flickr.

Clean and stark! Would work well for simplicity too 🙂

This is a lovely photo and really shows illumination. I feel your pain with working with a different computer while traveling. But it makes you a better techie ! 🙂

I’ll never be a better techie – just a more frustrated non-techie.

I think that’s what first moved me to take the photo – there’s a statement there.

It is indeed a street lamp. Looks like a deserted place. 🙂

It does look rather deserted but it is a lamp right outside my friend’s home on a small town street. There is a gap in houses across the street providing a view to Lake Superior and simple darkness for my photo.

In my “Nikon coolpix” post I said I was going to try to keep looking at things with a fresh eye – as I passed the window I just had to get my camera although the scene seemed so mundane.

I find now I’m taking the same shots in a variety of settings, to see the differences – good-to-know-stuff when vacation comes up.
