Pink And Green Polka Dot Wedding

Autumn Fair Freiburg






The last common photo day led us to Freiburg's Autumn Fair, where we thought ourselves with long exposures, the rides. However, this time I have intentionally agreed to a late meeting, so that we do in this cold weather also held out until the closing fireworks. So we missed while the blue hour in which the sky a little drawing and, above all, a strong Shade of blue could contain, but then after all, still shoot some fireworks pictures. We still have frozen ...

Since I have already written in the spring of a blog to our local joint photo day at the fair to take ( here), I try here in a slightly different aspects of the photo tour.

I started, as I've photographed a Kettenkaroussel from a very low perspective, so you can see the beautiful lighting. I decided here - as with all images of the evening - for a rather warm color scheme, as these are the carnival mood I find travel better. Despite the unusual perspective, the fast wide-angle (17mm on full frame) and the many slopes in the picture, it is a rather boring
motif.




This may change quickly if we extend the exposure time. First with a little slower movement of the Karoussels, then at full speed. Only by the extended exposure time we can produce images that we have seen with the naked eye, never!






The next step was to give this subject a context. There is therefore fitted in with the scenery, so that The viewer gets an idea where we were. But I switched to landscape mode, increased the distance and switched to a longer focal length (28mm on full format).
The design we have on a slope (the roof left), which we for the most eye-catching, the Karoussel leads. On this slope, the two appear rides in the background (indicated as wheels) almost to the main theme "roll out". If our eye still got to be on the Derby horse-drawn down as of right, we can nevertheless look back towards the horse to follow into the picture.




Another (somewhat obvious) approach to the image assigned to a specific place erfolte, again with a new location. I left the camera in landscape mode and but switched to an even longer focal length (50mm) to move closer to the background to the foreground.




The third option was to combine two ellipses, or circular movements in different directions in an image. A few steps left and back focal length is reduced to 35mm and the camera was rotated to portrait mode. bring




order some more dynamism into the picture, I waited a little longer off and triggered only when the Kettenkaroussel slightly bent. Unfortunately I did not notice that the light traces of Karoussels the circle of the Ferris wheel in the background cut. A slightly lower camera position, or even been a slight change in direction of the focal length wide angle would have solved the problem. Too bad! But the spring fair is that, either ...




How important is it to trigger on such subjects very often, as the following picture compilation. In the picture next to me was too close circle of lights. I then shortened the exposure time of 6s to 3s, leading to the central image. There, caught However, I seem just a phase in which the running lights were very slow, which led to this spiral. The picture is taken with the far right the same values as the average, but shows again a completely different lighting effect. clarify




order but once again the importance of different shutter speeds for long exposures, I want you here again show a comparison. Four times the same picture, four very different results. From top left: 8s, 6s, 4s, 2s. Try out! The results are often difficult to predict!



Who
my design courses has already visited, knows the challenge of integrating geometric shapes such as circles and triangles and has
heard of different positions of pixels. Have a look at these aspects of time following pictures!




The example just shown is already much more graphic than the spring samples. You can actually go on a great show on the form and structure search! Sometimes it's really exciting to seek out only sections that bring the viewer to ponder what he sees as just.











The last picture (no, it was not Sauron's Eye on Mordor) incidentally saw in passing this:




marked the end of the evening the final fireworks. Because we did unfortunately not sure where this is ignited, the question of location was not easy. And as it turned out, not even the best ... Next time we are smarter!




Although I have already emailed all students get pictures, I'll wait a couple days before I show you this. Because even this post has become quite long and I will also do not flood with pictures ... ;-)
