cars clouds Light rain street In a raining evening, during a break between two pelting, I captured this dichotomy of colors.
Making this picture wasn’t easy for lack of light and the motion of cars. A good compromise solution was an exposure timing of 1/8 seconds that also allows to make out the weak light of the crescent in the top.
Digital corrections Light Sun Technics Even if the sky is cloudy, it can be source of beautiful pictures. And if some computer graphics techniques are applied, the result can seem… ultramundane!
Technically this picture is realized taking an image of the sun covered by clouds with an exposure of 1/2000 seconds, a focal lenght of 17mm, f/8.3, ISO-50. That short exposure is available only in automatic mode in my digital camera. The limit is 1/1000 seconds in manual mode.
After shooting I regulate contrast with the “curves” function and I have applied a color variation towards… red. Incredible, isn’t it?
